January 18 - February 15, 2020
MALLLL PRETZELZ PT.2, a solo exhibition featuring new works by artist Adam Palmer. The show will run from January 18 through February 22, 2020. There will be an opening reception held on Saturday, January 18 from 7-10:00 PM at Ro2’s Cedars gallery located at 1501 S Ervay Street, Dallas, TX 75215. Adam Palmer explores his childhood influences in his new exhibition MALLLL PRETZELZ PT.2. Mesmerized by the color and compositions of Nickelodeon, MTV, HBO and Saturday Morning Cartoon, he was able to escape the mundane of everyday life and be exposed to new perspectives and culture. This new body of work draws on Palmer’s nostalgia of playful, entertaining television and translates it to an abstract form.
Artist Statement:
In my drawings and prints I try to convey all of my childhood influences in an abstract form. I grew up in a small and remote west Texas town. Nickelodeon, MTV and HBO provided an escape from my everyday life. The shapes and colors of Saturday Morning Cartoon were my first introductions to Color and Composition. The interesting fashion and music on MTV videos and HBO Movies provided a new perspective about other places and cultures. I try to capture the same fun and energy in my work that I felt as a child.
