Adam Handler (1986) - Signed Original Drawing

Original signed and dated drawing by rising American contemporary artist Adam Handler. Magnificent work depicting one of his famous characters. Drawing dimensions 20x18cm, framed in a high-end Nielsen Alpha Oak frame with a black background, ready to be displayed in your interior. Drawing created on May 18, 2022 in Paris during his first solo show in France. (Event photo attached) Adam is influenced by Gustav Klimt and clearly by the work of Willem de Kooning, one of the founders of abstract expressionism. His creations explore the relationship of a couple, as well as the relationship between a mother and her child. He is one of the most in-demand contemporary artists of the new generation; his auction record is currently over €55,000 and continues to grow. Born in New York in 1986, Adam Handler grew up on Long Island. His childhood and adolescence were immersed in the art world in his grandparents’ framing workshop in New York, sparking his passion for contemporary art. At 18, Handler embarked on a journey to refine his creative skills, studying drawing in Italy and then earning his degree from Purchase College in 2008 with a specialization in art history. As an emerging New York artist, Handler’s artistic approach is rooted in spontaneity, inspired by the moment and guided by color. This approach fosters a sense of freedom, with delightful surprises emerging throughout the creative process. His Faux Naïf technique and vibrant, colorful paintings aim to evoke emotions in the viewer, focusing on the experience rather than contemplation of the artwork. Ghost paintings and elements of figurative art contribute to his distinctive style, positioning him as a notable contributor to the naïve art genre. His works are exhibited worldwide: from the United States, through Europe, to the Middle East. Adam is today one of the references of contemporary art on par with friends and peers such as Banksy, Obey (Shepard Fairey), Kaws, Vhils, Hirst, Haring, JonOne, Saraiva, Onemizer, Chevrier, Orlinski, Futura, Murakami, Koons, C215, Seth, Takeru, Imbue, Calleja, Cattelan, Plans and others… Fast, careful shipping, all well protected worldwide.
