Adi Gershon
ABOUT
Adi has always immersed herself in drawing and art; over the years she has worked in the fields of art and design, both locally and internationally. Her artistic expression flits along the gameplay between what is certain and disparate, deep and flat, exposed and hidden.
Over the years Adi has taken still photographs of figures and characters, both familiar and foreign; she then removes the figures from the environment in which they were photographed and places them within a drawing of her newly-imagined ensemble. The figures are placed in an empty space, the time and location remain vague and indecipherable.
We are flooded by thoughts about the past and future, and oftentimes miss the sanctity of the current moment. Focusing on the here and now connects us to ourselves, our surroundings and to nature. When approached from an egalitarian rather than patronizing position, at a given moment everyone and everything are one. Adi seeks to distill a presence in her art, a moment that exists within each of us, regardless of time, location, or context.
Adi’s artwork has been exhibited and sold in the United States, Canada, England, and Israel.
