Drawing upon disparate vocational and popular traditions from across the world, Adam Sorensen’s paintings materialize a particular vision. It is a vision deeply tied to the reality of landscape while imbued with enough imagination to make these paintings otherworldly.
The trail of aesthetic influence is not hidden in Sorensen’s work. Drawing heavily on ukiyo-e traditions of Japanese woodcuts, the Hudson River School, and painters of the American West, Sorensen strikes an unbelievable balance between the terrific wonder of the sublime and the inaccessibility of an imagined place. The Romanticism of Caspar David Friedrich melds with the vivid sharpness of near digital vistas devoid of figures, but not lacking in personal depth.
Sorensen lives and works in Portland, OR. Sorensen received a BFA from Alfred University in New York and a Post-Baccalaureate Certificate in painting from the Studio Art International, Florence, Italy. He has shown his work extensively at museums and galleries throughout the Northwest where his influence and dedication have been acutely felt. His work resides in prominent private and corporate collections up and down the west coast.
