Adrian Lascom

“When painting, there are no unintentional marks, only conscious and unconscious.  I attempt to bypass the conscious mind, the cerebral censor, and gain access to hidden thoughts and images created by the unconscious.”  This statement by Adrian Lascom speaks volumes about his work.  He dramatically daubs his canvases with oils and acrylics, overlaying dark, even aphotic layers with bursts of washed-out color that often seem to drag purposefully downward, almost clawing at the canvas as they fall.  His painting style displays a feral physicality, a seething of a subconsciousness made corporeal.  He draws upon his dreams and the effects of family trauma to actualize his own catharsis.  “I continue to develop and hone an individual style and technique to create a body of work that is a true personal expression,” he declares, “work that can represent Adrian Lascom.”

Lascom is a graduate of London’s Royal College of Art.  In his 15-year career he has both been featured in numerous solo exhibitions and created numerous award-winning commercial projects.
