Adam Marx is a Minneapolis based artist and musician whose focus varies between the two fields. As an artist, Marx’s body of work is mainly comprised of acrylic paintings depicting childhood memories and fantasies. His style is playful and exaggerated with vivid colors, cavernous backdrops, and an attention to the most minute detail that pulls the work forward in dimensionality. Marx is the recipient of a continuing Bush Foundation grant and has been awarded two “best up and coming artist” awards through The Crossing Arts gallery in Brainerd, Minnesota. His work has been shown in Los Angelos, California (La La Land Gallery), Queens, New York (Death By Audio Gallery), Minneapolis, Minnesota (City Club Gallery, Rogue Buddha Gallery, A-Mill Artist Gallery) and several other galleries in the 8 years that he’s been practicing.
Marx’s intention with his work started as a simple intrigue for expressing himself through another form of creativity outside of audio but has become a much more informed and devoted practice. His hunger for learning has seen him create work with multiple mediums and ideologies all existing under the guise of discovery. His work continues to progress and build into something that’s seemingly larger than he had anticipated by being recognized by galleries and critics inspiring him to be even more immersed in his painting. Marx paints from a place of discovery and diligence. His queries into new techniques and styles afford him the possibility of always remaining intrigued. His work is playful, yet committed to perfection in the various mediums he practices. Marx continually enjoys being a student to the practice of his own visual efforts.
