About the Item

Christopher Adams, born in Medford, Massachusetts, in 1972, is a ceramist whose work intertwines art and science. He began exploring ceramics during high school and later graduated magna cum laude from Harvard University in 1994 with a B.A. in organismic and evolutionary biology. During his time at Harvard, he served as an artist-in-residence in their Ceramics Program. Adams furthered his education by earning a Doctor of Medicine from Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons in 2004 and currently practices as a part-time dermatologist as well as an artist. His medical background profoundly influences his art, particularly in his attention to surface textures and forms. Adams's ceramic sculptures draw inspiration from biological concepts such as adaptive radiation, creating surreal, biomorphic forms that evoke both flora and fauna. His work has been showcased in solo exhibitions at venues including GarveySimon Gallery, Hosfelt Gallery, Ricco Maresca, Greenwich House Pottery (all in New York, NY) and Harvard University, Cambridge, MA. Notably, his pieces are part of the permanent collection at the Museum of Arts and Design in New York. Adams is represented by GarveySimon in New York City.

Untitled, orange biomorphic flora-like ceramic sculpture, 2015
By Christopher Adams
Located in New York, NY
Christopher Adams creates sculptures that play on biological concepts, specifically adaptive radiation, whereby a pioneering organism enters an untapped environment and then differentiates rapidly without departing too much from its original form. His sculptures suggest varieties of creatures, but not necessarily a specific organism. Many works are suggestive of plant life with leafy tendrils and frayed edges. Adams graduated magna cum laude from Harvard College...
