Adam Kennedy

Brief Biography

Adam is a Glasgow-based contemporary artist who graduated in Intermedia Art from Edinburgh College of Art in 2009. Kennedy's art ranges from site specific installation and extraordinary objects influenced by the history of airline travel to paintings reflective of his childhood fixation with transport and growing up next to the River Clyde in Glasgow. Recent influences for his work have been contemporary artists including Anne Penman Sweet, whose paintings of loose shapes and colourful drips depict oil tankers, and Kilmarnock-born Ryan Mutter, who paints dark, heavy images of River Clyde-built structures. Adam comes from a talented family. His brother, Paul Kennedy, was an Aspect Prize finalist in 2009.
