About me
Adam Pointer | Artist | Newcastle. Taking a playful look inside your mind : ) ☛ @adampointerart - Check, scroll, swipe, like, repeat. My current body of work playfully imagines what effect the addictive like quality of the smartphone has on our beautiful minds. Skull shaped forms of layered painted wood, perspex and steel are constructed to expose the unseen anxieties and modern mental afflictions that now saturate our headspace. I call this state ‘Mind Full Mess’. Maybe you can relate. - Adam began creative life as an intern at the Face magazine. As a freelance commercial artist He has worked on projects for fashion brands Diesel and Fila, produced gig artwork for DJ Shadow and Cut Chemist and collaborated with artists such as Paul Insect. In late 2019 Adam took up a studio in the centre of Newcastle to focus solely on his own art projects which culminated in a new body of work for his debut solo exhibition in March of 2020 - ‘Mind Full Mess’.
