Adam

This is Adam.

Adam with his big banana.

 Last year Adam won the Qantas contemporary art prize including flights and a few expenses, and guess what, i got to come too. There are some serious perks to being married to an amazing artist. So here we are in a small flat in a big city- Belo Horizonte- in Brazil.

 Proud to spruik him, Adam has been making all kinds of incredible art since arriving in Brazil about six weeks ago. Banana Hands (pictured above) is a fine example of the witty, carefully constructed artworks that Adam has been making.
  This Thursday night he will be giving an artist talk and showing some work at a small gallery in the city centre. I know it will be a great night.

Adam is currently undertaking an artist residency at a place called JACA- you can see their site HERE.

 It is just outside Belo Horizonte in a town called Jardim Canada where the soil is mahogony red, bananas grow by the side of the road and the industrial feel of the town strangely reminded me of Fyshwick- a suburb back home in Canberra.

Speaking of Canberra, the CCAS website features several photos and an update from Adam here in Belo Horizonte. What a guy.
