Adam Hosmer is an artist who works in multiple mediums. He focuses on portraiture and figuration as a vehicle to explore the various absurdities of the contemporary human experience, weaving between skillful technique, and clunky abstraction to elicit a feeling of humor, tension, and confusion. He lived in Japan for many years, where he won the Canon New Cosmos of Photography Juror’s prize, and exhibited in numerous galleries, as well as the Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography. He attended the Tokyo University of the Arts graduate program in Intermedia Art, graduating in 2012. Adam also works as a translator for museums in Japan, translating catalogs and essays from Japanese to English. He currently resides in and teaches art at a boarding school in New England, though still maintains a residence in Tokyo.
