Adam Niklewicz, SELFIE AS THE BARBER OF SEVILLE, 2021

Somerset velvet giclée print, 24” x 36” (edition of 3)

​

 

«Making art is like carving out an intimate niche for oneself – a free zone that doubles as a buffer,

a source of protection from the pressures of corporate society in which many feel trapped.

Today’s climate encourages the public to believe that reality can be sanitized, streamlined and made predictable.

My work pokes holes in that illusion.»

- Adam Niklewicz
