FINE ART and ARCHITECTURAL ILLUSTRATION by Adams Wells Gedritis of Chicago Illinois
About ADAM Wells Gedritis
Statement
I just want people to say WOW!
If that happens, I am fully compensated. No fame, no fortune, just WOW! People will react that way to art for different reasons, and I'm not even sure which reason drives my concepts and moves my paintbrush. Heeding the clue of the title, I hope the viewer vacillates between "This is really fun to look at", and "But I think there is something more going on here".
Media
I work in oil mostly, acrylic occasionally. The Architectural Rendering work is graphite(black & white) or marker/airbrush(color).
