•       Loren D. Adams, Jr. – Born September 28th, 1945 at Green County Hospital in Linton, Indiana.

Biographical Sketch – The Whole Story

Renaissance man, Loren D. Adams, Jr.  is now celebrating his 46th year as a professional Fine Arts
Visionary Surrealist Artist.  He developed a profound interest in painting at the age of nine years old.
One of these very early original Art-works found it’s way into a major retrospective exhibition at the
prestigious R.W. Norton Art Gallery, a Museum of Early American, European and Contemporary Fine
Art in Shreveport, Louisiana in February of 1979.

Loren Adams studied water colors with Marion Young, his neighbor who also taught Art at a middle
school in Corona, California.  He learned privately with her during the spring & summer of 1956-57
and still enjoys pure transparent water color using the techniques he learned from her.  In 1961 He
enrolled in the Fashion and Illustration correspondence course through Famous Artist Schools of
Westport, Connecticut.  He was disappointed to learn that, although he was one of the founders;
Norman Rockwell would not be his teacher.  Mr. Adams still refers to the marvelous text books for
points of execution in the human form for many of his paintings.

Being guided by his instincts and these basic fundamentals of drawing and painting he is primarily
self taught and is personally glad that he wasn’t too influenced by teachers of Art he didn’t like.  He
is greatly influenced by the realistic paintings of Albert Bierdstadt, Frederick Church, Charles Naahl,
and others of the 19th century Hudson River School.  He also is influenced by Russian Master Ivan
Aivazovski, and the Surrealists; Rene Magritte and Salvador Dali.  He admires beauty and passion
above most other qualities found in modern Art and of course has always admired Norman Rockwell.

His first public exhibit was at the Roseville Museum, Roseville, California in 1967.  This was the same
year he quit his day job as an emergency room L.P.N. to devote full time to his Art. The young Artist
began to chase after his dream to become a Master.  That was in 1967 some 46 years ago and he never
looked back or regretted the idea of living this dream awake.

During the past 46 years he has lived and painted the entire pacific coast from Baja, California to the
Inland passage of northern British Columbia, the gulf coast from Yucatan to Galveston, and the entire
costal areas of many of the Hawaiian islands.

Today his beautiful original oil paintings and limited editions are in Museums and important collections
in 9 countries and throughout the US.  He has collectors in Canada, Australia, Japan, Germany, England,
China, Mexico, South America, Italy, and Texas… which is also considered another place outside the U.S.
by the residents of Texas.

•                                     The Loren Adams Technique and ideals in painting:

His technique is unique and yet traditional: He generally paints wet into wet (ala-prima) glazing only
over fresh retouch varnish if it is more than 3 days between painting sessions. He has always used Talen’s
Rembrandt or Windsor Newton Select List premium fine oil pigments.  He usually mixes his own palette
with light bodied stand oil and Grumtine occasionally adding a small amount of damar and never uses
driers.  He prefers oil prepared fine portrait linen canvas and stretches his own canvas sometimes on his
own stretcher bars.

For the finish on his oil paintings he uses only retouch varnish and waits at least 3 to 5 years before
the final 5 lb. cut of damar varnish that he brushes on by hand. He maintains the right to design his own
frames and believes that it is his personal responsibility to create with colored silks and other framing
materials all the way out to the wall––stating: “It is my right to assure my work is properly framed.” He
often deliberately uses odd sizes so that only custom framing can be used––even when it is re-framed.

Personally he believes that all great Art has to have value to the Artist first, or it will never have value
to anyone else.  “My paintings are like my children and anyone who buys them knows they’re adopting
one of my children and that they have a responsibility to take care of them.” LDA

Not content to rest on his past laurels, he continues to extend the borders of his creative abilities. Other
than painting in oils, he enjoys water color, and painting on his own 3-D gold gilded wooden carvings
which he calls stabiles.  Each of these innovative objet d’art are unique in that they have three sides each
with a different portal into a mysterious realm that is like a dream brought to life.  His attention to detail
is un-paralled and his quality of lighting brilliant.  The way he portrays the light reflecting on the surface
of moving water puts his work in a league all by itself… the viewer can almost hear the sound of the waves.

Loren Adams explains his views on real Art:

The way he thinks of Art is simple enough: Art is a language of the emotions that is shared with others.
If it’s really good Art it necessarily must live up to the same high standards set by recognized Great Art. It
must be intellectually stimulating, historically significant, mathematically perfect, and of course it must be
well painted.  “Real Art is supposed to be beautiful” in my opinion.
Loren Adams expresses himself about life:

As an Artist I not only take life seriously but I look at life itself as an opportunity to make everything around
me beautiful.  Everything one does can be an Art-form if they take enough thought.  I enjoy getting dressed
up in a shirt and tie everyday.  I take pride in pretty much everything that I do.  I see this place as heaven
because for me that’s all I choose to see.  Everyone gets 24 hours each day and they’re free to do what they
will with their time and see what they want to see.

Loren Adams lives happily, in his “dream awake” with his darling wife and eternal companion Patty, on the
island of Maui, where they find joy in all of their endeavors.  They have a loving family of grown children and
grand children who are creative in their own chosen areas.

Loren’s other interests include Piano, singing, public speaking, and above all else learning; he is always
searching for a finer expression of his ideals.  His love of classical music has often caused him to consider
a career as a concert pianist, instead the Art, Music and his many other interests have combined to create
a deeper resonance and added a richer color to life itself.
