- Kim Adams
Kim Adams (1951 - ) is an internationally recognized Canadian
sculptor who has been creating imaginative assemblage in different scales in his 25-year long career. His unique visual style takes influences fromindustrial design , architecture and automotive design. He takes the model railroading technique ofkitbashing to new heights as he mates various types of vehicles together in both fanciful and childlike ways. Bright stock colours and prefabricated elements are important ingredients in his large-scale sculptures. Work on small surreal landscapes (reminiscent ofHieronymous Bosch ) point to an endless number of ambitious schemes to bring the utilitarian stock of heavy industry into compositional perfection.Kim Adams is represented by the Wynick/Tuck Gallery, Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
