Using mostly aluminum mesh—generally found in screen doors, windows and filters—he creates contemporary abstract sculptural artworks and installations, which resemble flowers, clouds, and other natural phenomena. Working in metal, Adams effortlessly transforms rigid material into airy, effervescent artworks.This 24 by 20 by 14-inch silver metal wall sculpture is a lightweight sea form created from the aluminum mesh. Atticus works spontaneously, feeling his way toward the objects that take shape in mind as he shapes them almost entirely by hand. The built-in concealed metal eyelet on the back of the sculpture contributes to an effortless installation on a single nail or screw. The artwork can also be suspended from the ceiling using a wire through the same eyelet. Free local Los Angeles area delivery. Affordable Continental U.S. and worldwide shipping. A certificate of authenticity issued by the art gallery is included. Atticus grew up in West Virginia, steeped in traditional folk art. Several members of his family are self-taught artists, deeply involved in such crafts as wood carving and quilting. His formal art training includes stints at Yale, Rhode Island School of Design, and Harvard’s School of Architecture. Atticus has fond summer memories of screened in porches back home and screen doors that practically dissolved the barrier between inside and outside, allowing the warmth and nature to permeate each day. This association continues to resonate in his art.“Metal mesh is a beautiful, flexible material that allows you to explore shadow and transparency in endless ways,” he says. “The material lends itself to these biomorphic shapes, which aren’t necessarily intentional. The sculptures seem fragile but are actually quite resilient—like nature itself.” A well-known sculptor, the organically inspired artworks of Atticus Adams is held in public and private collections and are exhibited in galleries and museums across the United States.REPRESENTATIONSince 2014 Artspace Warehouse Los Angeles, CASOLO EXHIBITIONS 2021 Seeking Sanctuary, Zynka Gallery, Pittsburgh, PA2021 My Hydrangea Kingdom By a Bird Bath Sea, Pittsburgh Botanic Garden, Pittsburgh, PA2018 There’s a Pink Poodle in my Arcadia, The Pittsburgh Center for the Arts, Pittsburgh, PA Summers of Green Apples with Salt, The Westmoreland Museum of American Art, Greensburg, PA2016 Mesh Werks, Desert Art Collections, Palm Desert, CA2015 Shapes & Forms, Desert Art Collections, Palm Desert, CA Mesh Lab: The Experiments, The Mine Factory, Pittsburgh, PA2014 Arcadia, BE Galleries, Pittsburgh, PA2013 Summertime, BE Galleries, Pittsburgh, PA2013 A Joggling Board Summer, Orchard Windows Gallery, New York City, NY2011 Atticus Adams – An Appalachian in Paris, Borelli-Edwards, Pittsburgh, PA2010 My Walden, Society of Contemporary Craft, Pittsburgh, PA2007 Atticus Adams, Europ’art Gallery, Pittsburgh, PA 2004 Joyland, Mineral Spring Lofts, Pawtucket, RIINSTALLATIONS2022 Appalachian Blues, Pittsburgh International Airport, PA2020 Flora Contempo II, facebook, Pittsburgh, PA2019 Silver Linings II, The Glass Lofts, Pittsburgh, PA2019 From the Velveteen Closet, University of Pittsburgh Art Gallery, PA2018 Around the Pond, Arcadia, The Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh, PA2017 Wall Flora, Pennsylvania Convention Center, Philadelphia, PA Flora Contempo, Nemacolin Woodlands Resort, Farmington, PA2013 Seamonkey Garden, Children’s Museum – Waterplay Room, Pittsburgh, PA2013 Majorelle Jardin, O’Bannon Oriental Carpets – windows, Pittsburgh, PA2012 Silver Linings, Dinette, Pittsburgh, PA2010 Transcendental, Philadelphia Art Alliance, Philadelphia, PA2009 Gestures 12, Mattress Factory, Pittsburgh, PA2007 STRUNG, FE Gallery, Pittsburgh, PA2007 Best of Pittsburgh Show, Three Rivers Arts Festival, Pittsburgh, PA2007 Olympic Installation Theatre, Mattress Factory, Pittsburgh, PA 2006 The Chapel, Brew House Space 101 Gallery, Pittsburgh, PA 2006 White Room, Unblurred, Pittsburgh, PA PROJECTS2017 In the Company of Ghosts, set and costume design, Pittsburgh, PA ABBEY: In the Red, Set and Costume Design, Pittsburgh, PA CMOA’s Material Worlds Fashion Show, designer Pittsburgh, PA2015 412 MADE, exhibitor, Architectural Digest Home Design Show, New York, NY Mesh Lab, Instructor, Touchstone Center for Craft, Farmington, PA2014 Madagascar, associate set designer, Quantum Theatre, PA2013 Progression Film Project, Pittsburgh, PA2013 Solaire Casino, Manila, The Philippines2012 “Steel Weavers” video collaboration with sound artist Robert Weis2010 Medallions & Cloud Chains, – Cosmopolitan Hotel, Las Vegas, NV2010 Renaissance on the Allegheny, – Rensaissance Hotel, Pittsburgh, PA2008 The Goat – set design sculptures, Pittsburgh Playhouse, PA2006 After Mrs. Rochester – ass’t set designer, Quantum Theatre, PAAWARDS2015 Silver & Gold, WAX Jewelry Design Studio, Pittsburgh, PA2013 Anna Marie Sninsky Award, Associated Artists of Pittsburgh2008 The Kors, Fiber Arts Guild of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA2008 Best In Show, Fiber Arts Guild of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PAGROUP EXHIBITIONS 2023Sing to the Ocean, FP Contemporary, Los Angeles, CA Evocation, Walker Fine Art, Denver, CO Credible Thread, Artspace Warehouse, Los Angeles, CA2022The Line, Artspace Warehouse, Los Angeles, CA2020 110x110x110, AAP Exhibition Space, Pittsburgh, PA2019 AAP 107th Annual, Westmoreland Museum of American Art, PA2019 Current, Zynka Gallery, Pittsburgh, PA2019 Organic Subtleties, Walker Fine Art, Denver, CO2019 3D, Morgan Contemporary Glass Gallery, Pittsburgh, PA2018Touchstones, Cindy Lisica Gallery, Houston, TX How to Make Memories, Artspace Warehouse, Los Angeles, CA2017 Blue, Pittsburgh Center for the Arts, Pittsburgh, PA Group A NOW, Box Art Gallery, Pittsburgh, PA2016 59th Annual, Chautauqua Institution, NY AAP 105 Show, Carnegie Museum of Art, Pittsburgh, PA2015Summer Show, Art Space 616, Sewickley, PA Screen Memories, Point Park University, Pittsburgh, PA AAP 104 Show, Butler Institute of American Art, Youngstown, OH2014Flowers, Chautauqua Institution, NY An Aberrant View, Ann Street Gallery, Newburgh, NYTV & FILMYou People, NetflixAmerican Gigolo, ShowtimeGrace and Frankie, NetflixMinx, HBOAmerican Housewife Season 5 less
