About The Artist

Renaissance man, Loren D. Adams, Jr. Now celebrating 54 years as a professional Visionary Fine Arts Surrealist Innovator… The Marquis Who's Who Society has published an extended Biography Here: Loren Adams - Who's Who Recipient of The Albert Nelson Marquis Lifetime Achievement Award - http://www.24-7pressrelease.com/press-release-s... Born in Linton, Indiana on Sept. 28,1945. He developed a profound interest in painting at the age of 9 years old. One of his early original works found it's way into a major retrospective exhibition at the prestigious R.W. Norton Art Gallery, a Museum of early American, European & Contemporary Fine Art in Shreveport, Louisiana in February of 1979. He was then the youngest living Artist in America to have a major Retrospective at a Major Museum. The R.W. Norton Art Foundation, 4747 Creswell Drive, Shreveport, Louisiana His first public exhibit at Roseville Center Museum, Roseville, California in 1967, was also the year he quit his day job as an emergency room L.P.N. to devote full time to Art and chase after his dream to become a master Artist. Today his beautiful original oil paintings & certified limited editions are in museums and important collections in nine countries: Australia, Japan, China, Germany, Scotland, England, Canada, Mexico, and The United States. Not content to rest on his past laurels, he continues to extend the borders of his creative excellence, always searching for a finer expression of his ideals. His love of classical music has often caused him to consider a career as a concert pianist, instead the Art & Music have combined to create a deeper resonance adding a richer color to both. His Art-form; Classic Surrealism and Nuclear Mysticism, are very beautiful portals; The Journey to the City of God "Citadel Divine" AKA The Divine City. The most striking thing about all of his paintings is the quality of lighting and detail in his shadows. His portrayal of light dancing on the moving water has set him in a league all by himself. Mr. Adams says; "In order for any Artwork to be great it must measure up to the standards that other great Art does measure up to. It must be intellectually stimulating, the composition must be mathematically perfect, It must be historically significant, have a story important enough to help widen the planetary cultural base, and above all else it must be well painted." In the State of California, the Prologue in the Fine Arts Statute in the Civil Code, proclaims Art to enhance culture and as such is the exact opposite of crime! As a modern day Visionary Seer and revelator; "Essentially what I do is; read scriptures, all scriptures and time honored esoteric writings, I have dreams & visions... and then portray them in a work of Fine Art with the solemn belief that "dreams & visions are the language of The Holy Spirit" to put it in the Judeo Christian vernacular, thus: "Sharing the light ( I have seen ) with the most distant man!"
