Adrian Hatfield

Biography

Adrian Hatfield’s multi-media art examines the modes of visual communication developed within religion, science, and 19th century Romantic landscape painting, all of which endeavor to encapsulate or distill incredibly vast subject matter. His work presents science through the lens of mythology in order to celebrate the unknown. It borrows from scientific illustration and diorama, as well as religious shrines and altars. The work attempts to depict how the reductive nature of these languages reinforces the comforting illusion of a more complete understanding of their respective subjects.

Adrian has been showing his work both nationally and internationally for over 5 years. Solo and two-person exhibitions include “Altered States” at Jack the Pelican Presents in Brooklyn, NY, “Recent Work” at ARC Gallery in Chicago, IL, “King of the Impossible” at The South Bend Museum of Art and “Suitable Illusions” at the Northern Arizona University Art Museum. Recently, Adrian has been awarded at the NES Artist Residency in Skagaströnd, Iceland, and the SIM Artist Residency in Reykjavik, Iceland.
