About the Artist
Adam Hedley is an artist based in Bristol whose fluid, amorphous oil paintings sit between abstraction, landscape, and figuration, with traces of recognisable forms emerging from an ambiguous and ethereal soft blurriness.
His paintings begin from drawings that he describes as “a kind of archaeological digging”, and observations of the natural world - “anything from historical artefacts and ancient sites to maps, lichen, roots, manuscripts, woodlands, streets, and anything in between.” From these source materials, his paintings grow in a slow and methodical layering of thin washes of diluted oil paints and dry-brushed textures.
