Carver Hill Gallery is pleased to host a solo show art opening for Adam Umbach titled FINDING HOME from Friday July 5th - July 28th at 20 Winter Street, across from CMCA, in Rockland. The show is open daily.
My paintings explore a collective nostalgia for childhood memories by juxtaposing realistic representations of everyday objects that represent deep personal ties to memory with expressionistic mark making. Using my non-dominant hand to create the thickly rendered lines and forms, I build on the sense of play by drawing with the uncertainty and freedom of a child. This formal tension mirrors the balance between my playful, often humorous, choice of subjects with the weight of the memories they symbolize—a sense of loneliness pervading a single teddy bear, toy, or boat combined with the comfort and hope that it brings.
Adam Umbach was born in Chicago, and currently lives and works in Brooklyn, New York. After being inspired from an early age by the modern master's collection at the Art Institute of Chicago, he received his BFA in painting from the University of Wisconsin. He has exhibited his large-scale paintings nationally in galleries and has shown in numerous art fairs in New York, Miami, Philadelphia and Bridgehampton.
Carver Hill Gallery's permanent, year-round location is 36 Bay View Street, Camden. The summer pop-up location is open in July and August for two shows per season.
