Timothy Taylor is pleased to announce the representation of Alicia Adamerovich in London and New York. The gallery will present an exhibition of new work by the artist in New York in October 2024. Adamerovich will continue to be represented by Kohn Gallery in Los Angeles.

Adamerovich’s paintings and sculptures engage a distinctive visual language of biomorphic abstraction to reflect the landscape of the subconscious. She has developed a lexicon of enigmatic forms that recall at once scapulae, seashells, seed pods, and cosmic phenomena. Drawing on a conceptual lineage of Symbolists and Surrealists that includes Hilma af Klint, Agnes Pelton, Dorothea Tanning, and Meret Oppenheim, Adamerovich offers a vision of reality beyond the material realm, inviting metaphysical interpretation. The world she conjures is umbral and still. “These forms represent thoughts and feelings,” she explains. “I’m not trying to remake anything from our physical world; everything I’m making is psychological.”

Adamerovich works with painting and sculpture in tandem, allowing strategies and logics developed in one medium to inform the other. Building up her canvases with multiple layers of pumice, gel, sand and paint, she achieves uncanny effects of surface, depth, and atmosphere. She works intuitively and automatically, guided by emotion. Her sculptures, undulating and variegated, are carved from fallen trees sourced from her parents’ land in rural Pennsylvania. Across her work, she transcends contrasting qualities; she offers forms that are at once fragile and resilient, simple and complex, ominous and radiant.

“We are delighted that Alicia has joined the gallery—she's a natural fit given our program's ongoing interest in painterly surface. Her psychological abstractions and sculptures expand upon an important legacy of feminine mysticism, and I look forward to presenting her first solo exhibition in New York next year."—Chloë Waddington, Partner, Timothy Taylor
