Adam Fearon

Adam Fearon was born in Dublin and lives and works in Berlin, Germany. He is a painter whose work uses art-historical tropes to look at the nature, textures and materiality of the boundaries, walls and edges of public spaces: depicting spaces for intimacy in between action and the remnants and residue of life.

He studied at the National College of Art & Design, Dublin, Haute Ecole d’Art et Design, Geneva and Städelschule, Frankfurt. Recent solo projects include those at Kinderhook & Caracas and Ashley, Berlin; The Butler Galley, Kilkenny and Harbinger, Reykjavik. Group exhibitions have taken place at Gut Kerkow, Brandenburg, Franz Kaka, Toronto; Harbinger, Iceland; TJ Boulting, London; Frankfurter Kunstverein and BQ, Berlin. In 2019 he was a recipient of the Arts Council of Ireland's Next Generation Artist award.
