Grant Adler is a versatile artist who explores multiple mediums, with a special focus on creating evocative and melancholic atmospheres. Drawing inspiration from 19th century techniques, he combines contemporary approaches with traditional ideas to create enigmatic scenes.
His current project features a series of oil pastel drawings that explore nocturnal landscapes, depicting water as the central theme. In the context of pagan Slavic beliefs, water was recognized as a natural phenomenon serving as gateways for spirits to travel between realms – from their ethereal world to the land of the living. With the pieces suspended from the ceiling in a dimly lit space, the viewer is transported to a realm where water transcends its material form to become a conduit for spiritual reflection.
