details about this work


Adam King is based in London


My collages and installations incorporate a variety of materials including paint,magazine images,vinyl and fabrics to suggest fractured and dislocated surfaces and spaces.

Current works appropriate and reconfigure historical forms within scenarios and narratives that explore contemporary values.

I like to make works that suggest the epic and that have a cinematic quality.Within these panorama vignettes explore detail.
