Artist Adam Handler to showcase work on July 28

WEST ORANGE, NJ — Artist Adam Handler will showcase his work on Thursday, July 28, from 6 to 8:30 p.m. at Walter Bauman Jewelers, located at 653 Eagle Rock Ave. in West Orange. Handler was born in 1986 and works in a variety of mixed media formats, including paint, charcoal and works on paper.

“Mid-20th-century America, Vietnam, the British Invasion, Andy Warhol’s simplistic commercial Campbell’s soup cans have long enticed me,” Handler said in a release. “To me, this era always depicted character and artistic freedom, liberation from ‘the man.’ Though I was born in the 1980s, I have often speculated how the feelings and emotions that conflicted the youth then continue to remain relevant today. That era in particular spurred my interests to create paintings that captured the rebellious energy of the time, while transforming the imagery into contemporary works that relate to my generation. Contemporary politics and economics, social interactions, views on love, life, and death are all compressed into my mixed media works.”

The reception is free and open to the public. To find out more about the artist and see his work, visit. www.adamhandlerstudio.com.
