Kim Adams
Appearance
Kim Adams (born 17 December 1951) is a Canadian sculptor who creates assemblage in different scales.[1] His visual style is influenced by industrial design, architecture and automotive design.[2] His work incorporates the model railroading technique of kitbashing,[3] and bright stock colours and prefabricated elements are important ingredients in his large-scale sculptures. His small surreal landscapes are reminiscent of Hieronymus Bosch.[citation needed]
The Mendel Art Gallery acquired Kim Adams' sculpture Love Birds in 2013. The work expands ideas first developed by Adams in the 1980s with small-scale models about the relationship between two objects and the space they inhabit.[4]
