Adam Bainbridge
Adam Bainbridge is currently studying an MA in Painting at the RCA and was shortlisted for the New Contemporaries, 2009. Bainbridge celebrates the impossibility of giving memory a physical form. He employs this impossibility as a space for memory to transform with material into its own event. Memories morph into basic and tangible 3D models. With meticulous care, Bainbridge depicts the image with graphite to hyper-real accuracy. In all the works here, lines and gestures are created then hidden: obfuscated into shade and tone: the drawings’ making is hidden by lucid depiction. Precision creates an atmosphere of honesty and accomplishment suggesting the impossible - memory has become physical. However, since the drawings make visible their stages of construction such an illusion is negated.

The drawings allude to an embodiment of intangible moments while evidencing their entailed displacements: the past steps to their final realisation. A falsifying narrative chases its own fiction whilst swearing on its veracity.
