Adam Pendleton, a central figure among a cross-generational group of painters, has redefined the medium as it relates to process and abstraction. His paintings—simultaneously expressionistic, minimal, and conceptually rich—feature both stark contrasts and subtle variations in tone and finish. They are a tangible manifestation of his belief in painting as a powerful “visual and conceptual force.”
