Kye Adams
Kye Adams was born in Seoul, Korea in 1958. He spent his
childhood surrounded by the colorful landscape. He was
always fascinated by the beauty in the variety of nature
which kindled his desire to create a texture for the
landscape. Adams credits his greatest influences to the
natural world and the creative thinkers that have inspired
him such as Frank Lloyd Wright, Caravaggio and Vermeer.
Adams methodology is one of discarding and in turn,
reinventing the old to fashion something new and
distinctive. These elements of texture and change are
always relevant in Adam’s work. Whether he is rendering a
misty marsh or a the quietude of a Tuscan vineyard,
Adam’s delicate hand calls to mind a classic quality in life.
Thoughtful gradations of texture and color between the
canvas and the surface fuse to cultivate a refined overall
impact of classical beauty with a distinctively modernized
touch.
Adams graduated with a BFA from Hong-ik University. He
maintains a membership with The Korean Fine Art
Association and the Korean Oil Color Painting Association.
