Negative to Positive: The Art of Antonio Adams
BackCincinnati outsider artist Antonio Adams brings his unique vision to Big Car Gallery, Indianapolis, with "Negative Into Positive," a solo show of new paintings and sculptures opening July 11 and remaining up through July 26.
Adams' work in this show is about taking untimely deaths -- like the murders of Jon Benet Ramsay and John Lennon -- and using art to shine light on the darkness. "I bring these people back to their new life form. Focus on the positive things instead of negative things," Adams said. "We can make the positive happen in this world. I'm showing you how. We've got to go back in time to face all those problems, know the truth, learn about those mistakes, and fix things that have been broken."
Born in Cincinnati in 1981, Antonio Adams has been drawing, painting and creating since he was child. Now his work is shown and collected across America. Adams is one of the co-founders of Visionaries & Voices, an arts organization for artists with disabilities in Cincinnati. He was part of the Visionaries & Voices group show at Big Car Gallery in August of 2007.
