About Harry Adams
The artist 'Harry Adams' is the collaborative expression of the artists Adam Wood and Steve Lowe.
Steve and Adam have worked together over many years creating a body of work that they choose to present with a singular authorial voice. Harry Adams work has included music, performance, photography, collage & montage, printmaking, graphic art and crockery. But more recently he has focussed on making paintings and collaborating with Billy Childish on the ART HATE project.
The process of collaboration is central to Harry Adams' practice; one that elicits joint venture, common spirit and camaraderie, whilst both allowing and submerging the individual artists egos and personal expression.
Whilst being a presentational device, the Harry Adams 'process' also allows both playfulness and stark intent. The resulting works are steeped in the tradition of mark making and are an ongoing commitment to the search for significance within 'lightness of touch'.
Some paintings are undertaken individually, others are painted together or in turns, and there is an almost continual accompanying dialogue and critique.
The ART HATE project is more graphic and polemic in its demands and utilises a melee of wild ideas, conflicting messaging and threatening concrete poetry.
