Situated in the stylistic gap between cutting edge street art and slick fashion photography, the art of Adam Crew is dramatic and instantly accessible. Focusing on iconic individuals with varying degrees of fame and pomposity, Crew renders his subjects with ink on canvas in a high contrast, posterized approach, a technique that allows for a great deal of precision while retaining the delicious imperfections of handmade art. His figures gaze back at the viewers with expressions and posturing that define their deep-seated characters, ranging from inquisitive and brooding to bold and sexy.
Born and raised in the quiet suburbs of Burlington, Ontario, Crew learned early on to cultivate intrigue in his own terms. He graduated from Fanshawe College in London, Ontario before moving to the vibrant city of Toronto, where he further developed his choice working methods and distinctive style.
