Adam Baz
April 23, 2010 - By Danica van de Velde - Category: Art
Included in the brief and elusive biography that Portland-based artist Adam Baz has provided on his online portfolio is the comment that “he hopes to soon become unstuck in time.” Indeed, that is the feeling that he evokes in the otherworldly landscapes that comprise his series, The Eternal Myth.
As his illustrations do not generally feature any human figures, there is the sense that his detailed rural terrains possess an untainted and natural mysticism. Although Baz predominantly utilises a neutral palette to illustrate his nocturnal scenes, unexpected bursts of colour tint his works and transform them into views that look like they have come from the mind of an acid-dropping woodlands nymph. But I think that this is a very good thing. I’d love to know what you think.
Comments
If you've got something to say, keep it positive.Thanks for sharing this. I just went to his site and his work is really great.
That waves shape remaind me the artwork of Thom Yorke’s solo album, the details are great. BTY, if someday I do something really awesome I want you to be the one who talks about it, I’m still in love.
His work is stunning.
@ Matthew Allen – I’m pleased you like them. I just had a look at your site and was most impressed!
@ Chipotle – I agree, his work does have a similar aesthetic. And thank you once again for the kind words :)
@ Roberto C. Madruga – Yes, stunning is the perfect word to describe it.
Thanks Danica :)
oh my goodness. I love this so much I don’t know what to do with myself. Simply beautiful! How come I don’t know about him and I’m in Portland? lame! I shall hunt him down.
@ Alex – Your enthusiasm is quite infectious! I think he is in a band too, so you might even see him playing around Portland…
He IS in a band. BRAINSTORM. Like really fun psychedelic/nerd style…
