Many artists work in series format. For some, the subject of the series is determined by the subject of the work– oceanscape, abstract, pop culture, etc. But for Los Angeles artist Benjamin Adelmann, a series of work is often dictated by the process through which the artist arrives at his final destination.
Whether through beginning in a completely abstract composition or with a previously composed work manipulated through editing software and repainted as manipulation, Adelmann’s work feels more about what happens on the journey than what is waiting upon arrival. It’s a lesson I’m striving to embrace myself these days– that act of getting lost in the process and learning my way through it. That relinquishing of what I have in mind for a final outcome and just following where the path may lead.
