About the Item
'Toki and Slimy' by Adam Handler, 2023. Oil stick and spray paint on canvas, 30 x 24 in. This painting by contemporary artist Adam Handler features a single figure depicted in his signature faux-naif, child-like style. The figure is rendered in black and white and includes sweeping strokes of colorful, neon spray paint.
Adam Handler's work draws from a faux-naïf aesthetic, a style marked by its intentional simplicity and sincerity. Using oil sticks to produce bold lines, vibrant colors, and textured compositions, he achieves an almost childlike directness that belies the deeper, layered narratives of love and loss within each composition. Handler's recent Abduction series is a deeply personal reflection, exploring themes of love, family, and the longing for connections with those he has lost. Through whimsical scenes featuring ghostly figures, he invites viewers to connect with the delicate balance of lightheartedness and sorrow. Handler's vibrant female figures, inspired by the abstract forms of Willem de Kooning, embody his own playful, yet reflective perspective on memory and presence. These figures maintain a raw simplicity that speaks to childhood innocence, which captures the fragile beauty of connection and loss, blending personal memories with universal themes of love and family.
Adam Handler, born in Queens, NY in 1986, studied Life Drawing in Italy and graduated from SUNY's Purchase College with a major in Art History in 2008. Handler has mounted numerous solo and group exhibitions worldwide, including New York, Europe, Africa, and Seoul, South Korea. His work has been shown extensively at major art fairs including Art New York, Art Market Hamptons, Art Context Miami, and the Armory Print Fair. Notable exhibitions include Madelyn Jordon Fine Art, Scarsdale, NY, Brega Artist Space, Seoul, Korea; Rarity Gallery, Mykonos, Greece; Janet Lehr Fine Art, Bridgehampton, NY; Concordia College: OSilas Gallery, Bronxville, NY; Maison 10, New York, NY; Fred Torres Gallery, NY; Vered Gallery, East Hampton, NY; and The Children's Museum of Westchester, Rye, NY.

Handler has mounted numerous solo and group exhibitions worldwide, including New York, Europe, Africa, and Seoul, South Korea.
