until 18.11. | #4021ARTatBerlin | CAMERA WORK present from 14. October 2023 the exhibition »In Colour« by the artist Bryan Adams.
The CAMERA WORK gallery presents an exhibition of over 20 large-format photographs by Bryan Adams from 14 October 2023. All the works are from the impressive “In Colour” series by the photo artist, which is being shown in a gallery in Germany for the first time.
The exhibition is a comprehensive manifestation of the artistic development of the renowned photographer Bryan Adams. Inspired by the phrase “seeing the world through rose-[nted glasses”, Adams began experimenting with coloured Plexiglas, which adds an artistic component to his works and gives them another aesthetic and atmospheric level. In the elaborately conceived process, the high-quality fine art prints are combined with clear Plexiglas, which has previously been printed with various individual colour tones, to finally be laminated onto Alu Dibond before the final framing. In this way, the autodidact reinterprets selected portraits from his oeuvre. His “In Colour” works are produced in five colour variations: red, orange, blue, pink and nude. All spectrums will be represented in the exhibition.

Bryan Adams (*1959 in Kingston, Canada) achieved worldwide fame in the early 1980s with his musical career and has left his artistic mark on entire generations. In the course of more than 20 years, Adams has meanwhile established another existence and is now one of the most successful and recognised photographers worldwide. An unsatisfactory portrait of the musician for an album cover symbolises the beginning of his photographic career. From then on, Bryan Adams mostly photographed himself for his musical works and thus paved the way for the visual artist who was soon commissioned as a photographer by renowned magazines such as “Vogue”, “Harper’s Bazaar” and “Interview” as well as for advertising campaigns for Hugo Boss, Montblanc, Fred Perry, Jaguar and Opel. One of his most famous works was created in 2002 on the occasion of the Queen’s 50th anniversary on the throne. His dignified portrait of the monarch shows her in a humorous and unusually close way. Bryan Adams has published four monographs to date: “American Women” (2004), “Exposed” (2012), “Wounded – The Legacy of War” (2013), “Untitled” (2015) and “Homeless” (2019). His work is included in prestigious art collections such as the National Portrait Gallery (London) and is exhibited in museums worldwide – including the Royal Ontario Museum (Toronto), Museum Fotografiska (Stockholm), Musée National des Beaux Arts du Québec (Québec), NRW Forum (Düsseldorf) and the Multimedia Art Museum (Moscow).
