About Adam

Adam Rose is a New York City based artist whose work focuses on using light in ways that inspire wonder and investigation. His photographic works utilize white temporary sculptures that are documented under different colored lighting states. They are characterized by precision and geometry, utilizing clean lines and precise lighting to create images of visual impossibility. These signature pieces are dye-sublimated onto aluminum and mounted into hand-crafted frames.


Though his current medium is photography, Adam developed a deeper understanding of light by working in theater as a lighting designer and moving light programmer for Off-Broadway shows. He honed not only a technical ability, but also explored the intimate and subtle ways that light can influence our senses and emotions. He sees each light as a brush stroke that tells time and place, provides rhythm and energy and movement, directs attention and elicits emotion.
