Artist Statement:
Adam Jester captures intimate moments and observations of his life through painting. Drawing inspiration from nightly routines, daily encounters with the virtual, and everyday life, his realistic depictions of the human form often repeat, remove, or obfuscate elements of figurative painting,creating narratives that narrowly escape the viewer.
