Artist StatementMy art is a reaction to the human experience. I tap into the subconscious and harness it’s compulsive energy. A shoot first, ask questions later approach. Therein lies the true nature and value of art! Better Than Prozac!Are you feeling down? Then let Adam Carnes art staple a smile to your face! It’s far better than Prozac! Forget about the pills. They are bulky, cumbersome and take entirely too long to kick in. The effect of Adam Carnes art is INSTANTANEOUS! No hard work is necessary and the art is conveniently made to do the thinking for you. What more could you ask for?
Quotes“To finish a work? To finish a picture? What nonsense! To finish it means to be through with it, to kill it, to rid it of its soul, to give it its final blow the coup de grace for the painter as well as for the picture.”
“A painting is never finished – it simply stops in interesting places.”
“It’s about the experience, react to the model”
Udumbara FlowerBuddhist Scriptures say there is a flower that blooms every 3,000 years. It is known as the “Auspicious flower from Heaven”. When this flower blossoms, it symbolizes that the Holy King Who Turns the Wheel has arrived. This king will rectify Dharma in the world. To catch a glimpse of such an event, when painting, one will have received endless riches. I am still looking for this flower.
