Adam Bateman’s work, It’s Pink (2016), is part of a series of Field Paintings in which the artist explores the past and present of the American West. He deploys gestural painterly moves inspired by the marks left on the land by plowing, planting, irrigating, and harvesting. After depositing a heavy layer of acrylic colors and spray enamel onto the paper, Bateman creates deep gouges in the surface to expose the under-layers and leave behind a concentric pattern of furrows and ridges. Adam Bateman's work has been exhibited globally, including in museum exhibitions at the Utah Museum of Fine Art, the Utah Museum of Contemporary Art, the BYU Museum of Art, the Schnieder Art Museum, the Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art, the Akurari Art Museum, Disjecta, and the Barrick Museum. He received an MFA from Pratt Institute and is a recipient of the Utah Artist Fellowship and the Joan Mitchell Fellowship. Bateman has curated exhibitions around the United States, and was the founder and Executive Director of CUAC, an award winning non-profit art venue located in Salt Lake City. AdamBateman.com See less
