Adam Kurtzman

From the time Adam Kurtzman could stand, he’s been drawing and making things. Kindergarten was a pivotal creative experience for him, unlimited materials, and lots of approval, for doing what he enjoyed most. The first artistic epiphany he can remember, came in 1966, when, lusting for a Batman figure, he hit the paper mache, and MADE myself a model. The feeling of power and accomplishment was nothing short of rapturous, and for the next 40 years, he’s spent his life trying to relive that rush. Every day has the potential for that creative breakthrough for him. Paper mache has been a loyal and challenging ally over the decades, and in his search to expand my horizons, he’s worked in a host of other commercial materials, but paper, bronze and glass seem to serve him best, and have held his interest the longest. HIs finished product has less importance to him, than does the process of creating, something he finds essential for his own balance and peace of mind.
