Adam Rabinowitz
B. 1973
Adam Rabinowitz’s works are manifestations of appearance and disappearance through matter, space and light. Rabinowitz’s works are influenced by Walt Disney animation films, as well as by abstract post-war American art. His paintings are marked with psychedelic configurations and seem to be affected by heat or stuck by war, recalling the burnt landscapes of the Sinai Desert.
Rabinowitz’s process begins with raw, unprimed linen or denim, on which he paints gradient fields of color. Many thin layers of fluid acrylic are applied using a brush, a process that requires several weeks. The gradient colors create an effect of depth of field in the background. He then silkscreens images onto the painted linen, combining graphic and painterly means, deep and flat.

Adam Rabinowitz’s recent series of silkscreened paintings transmit a simultaneous effect of infinite space and flatness and play on the impossibility of being faded and bright at the same time. Hybrid images of UFO’s, cartoon-like eyes, tongues, clouds, drops and rainbows inhabit the paintings, implying an indeterminate state of suspended animation.”
