Adam MacArthur creates paintings that are depictions of temporal phenomena in nature through means of gestural abstraction in paint. Painterly gestures become depictions of wind and light as it activates natural spaces. By enlarging these phenomena to a focal point, MacArthur draws attention to the forces that create natural environments and the internal associations that come with them.

Bio: Adam MacArthur is originally from Tallahassee Florida. Growing up in a heavily forested area MacArthur formed a deep relationship with nature and the outside world that goes back to early in my childhood.This turned into an intense desire to be a part of and gain understanding of the natural forces that drive the world. MacArthur graduated from the University of Kansas in 2016 with a degree in Strategic Communications then completed the Post-Baccalaureate painting and drawing program at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2020.
