Adam Krueger
b. 1982 Illinois, United States
Adam Krueger was born in Illinois and currently resides in Brooklyn. He received his BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design, and his MFA from The School of Visual Arts, in New York.
He has shown in many group exhibitions including David Zwirner Gallery, Marlborough Chelsea, Phillips de Pury, Deitch Studios, and most recently at Barbara Gladstone Gallery, “Adam McEwen Selects” in collaboration The Foundation for Contemporary Arts. Adam has erected three solo shows in NYC, at Coleman Burke Gallery, Fuse Gallery and Kin+Gold Gallery. He was also included in several group museum exhibitions including Syracuse University. Krueger’s work has been covered by Whitehot Magazine, M Magazine, The New York Times, Raine Magazine, Cultbytes and The Huffington Post, among others.
Adam has also lent his talents to some projects outside of the gallery, including being commissioned to make original paintings for the movie Art Machine, about a child prodigy painter starring Joseph Cross. Krueger also starred in the mockumentary film You Stink Like Beautiful that follows the lives of two young artists in New York's underground art world as they work through the process of creating a two-person art show at Mint and Serf’s Canal Chapter Gallery. The film was created and produced by East Pleasant Pictures. Krueger’s work was also featured in an episode of the HBO Max revival of the TV series Gossip Girl.
“When first encountering Adam Krueger’s work, it is only natural to become engrossed with the innovative tromp-l’oil installation and his technical mastery of flesh and figuration. Each work is a complex illustration of the artist’s psychological state, told self-consciously. Each subject is decidedly contemporary in nature, exploring notions such as race, sexuality, vanity and class in a manner that is indicative of the current moment in culture.” – Eric Gleason, Director of Paul Kasmin Gallery, NY.
