Adam Pendleton is a New York-based artist and a central figure amongst a cross-generational group of painters defining the medium as it relates to process and abstraction in the 21st century. Known for formally inventive and conceptually rigorous works that blur distinctions between the act of painting, drawing, and photography, Pendleton’s paintings and drawings feature a variety of sprayed, stenciled, and layered gestures, as well as textual fragments and fields. For over a decade, Pendleton has articulated his approach to art through the framework of Black Dada, an evolving inquiry into the relationship between Blackness and abstraction.
