Adam Saks is a Danish artist who lives and works in Berlin. Known for his captivating explorations of existentialism, Saks employs a unique blend of visual symbolism and surrealism in his works. Through his intricate brushwork and evocative imagery, he engages viewers in thought-provoking introspection and contemplation on the intricate interplay between illusion and reality. Adam Saks creates a structure of metaphors through figurative elements with his own compositional system—a painting process with various approaches to applying colors, in which elements are organically placed on canvas, some levitating and creating their own order in nature, others geometrically shaped through lyrical abstraction.
Saks’ work is represented in such prestigious European institutional collections as the National Gallery of Art, Copenhangen; the ARoS / Aarhus Kunstmuseum; Kunsthal Nord, Aarlborg; Sønderjyllands Kunstmuseum, Tønder; Statens Kunstfond, Copenhagen; Malmö Konstmuseum; Nordiska Akvarellmuseet; Kiasma Museum of Contemporary Art; EMMA / Espoo Museum of Modern Art; LAC / Lieu d’Art Contemporain, Narbonne; Kunstverein Reutlingen; and Zabludowicz Collection, London.
Selected recent solo institutional exhibitions include Konsthallen Pumphuset, Landskrona; LAC / Lieu d’Art Contemporain, Narbonne; Kunstverein Reutlingen; and Kunsthal Nord, Aalborg.
