ICA Miami welcomes acclaimed New York–based artist Adam Pendleton to share insights into his conceptually rigorous, formally inventive practice. A central figure in contemporary American painting, Pendleton has redefined the medium through his engagement with process and abstraction. His paintings challenge established conventions and blur the boundaries between painting, drawing, and photography. Each painting comes to life through expressionistic flourishes, stark contrasts, and subtle variations of material, tone, and finish, balanced by a precision reminiscent of minimal and conceptual art.
Generative and poetic, his work across mediums creates fluid, resonant spaces for seeing, thinking, and feeling. In this talk, Pendleton will offer audiences a closer look at his approach and reflect on the prospects and possibilities of painting today.
