Jupiter is pleased to present Homegrown, a solo exhibition of new work by Bill Adams. Featuring drawings, ceramics, and paintings that diverge widely by way of style and technique, the exhibition showcases the perhaps unexpectedly political through-line at the core of Adam’s practice— one marked and spurred on by three key events: 9/11, Trump’s election, and the January 6 capitol insurrection.
As Adams played witness to these pivotal moments in national history and their irreparable effect on the public psyche, each of the three bodies of work that comprise the exhibition also evidence, whether via form or content, the measurable effect of these events on the artist and his attempt to make sense of such senselessness.
Bill Adams (b. 1957, New York, New York) earned his MFA from Indiana University and has had solo exhibitions at Shrine, New York; Marvin Gardens, Brooklyn; Freddy Gallery, New York; Jeff Baily Gallery, Hudson; Kerry Schuss, New York; Gorney Bravin Lee Gallery, New York; amongst others; as well as group exhibitions at Harper’s, East Hampton; Sarasota Art Museum, Sarasota; Eighteen Gallery, Copenhagen;56 Henry, New York; Galerie Hammelehle und Ahrens, Cologne; Fisher Parrish Gallery, Brooklyn; Rachel Uffner Gallery, New York; Underdone Gallery, Brooklyn; Capital Gallery, San Francisco; Leslie Heller Workspace, New York; White Columns Gallery, New York; The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum, Ridgefield; and many others. His work has been reviewed by The New York Times, The New Yorker, Time Out New York, artnet News, and Art Monthly, amongst other publications. Adams lives and works in Long Island, New York.
