Adam Dix

(b 1967, United Kingdom. Lives and works in London)

Adam Dix's paintings depict a borderland between the virtual and real world; while exploring how humanity adapts to new modes of communication. His work traverses a landscape of analogue and digital media through a blend of traditional folk customs; religious ceremony; and contemporary mass media. His palette of muted colours; hazy imagery and nostalgic subject matter anchor the work in a time of historical optimism. Overall; his paintings invite the viewer to engage in a secular celebration; whilst questioning past and present forms of social networking.
