ABOUT ME
Though my medium often changes, I never stop creating. Having in turns been a writer, a composer, a poet, a director, a conductor, a singer, a violist, an actor (both as part of an improv troupe and in traditional theater), a painter, a sculptor, a costume designer, and a young left-handed kid reluctant to pick up a marker for fear that it would smudge the details of his pencil sketch, I leap constantly from one exploration to the next.
While I appreciate art's capacity to catalyze introspection and cultural dialogue, most works exhibited on this site take a more whimsical approach. Over the course of the past year, I have looked into the construction of fantasy-inspired figures and scenes intended to have immediate interactivity with any environment.
This fall I will begin college as an economics/political science major. Despite this academic focus, I will, as ever, continue to create.
Adam Nie is a technically practicing artist whose experience includes two years of high school Drawing/Painting, one year of AP Studio Art, and four years of mixed media classes through the Riverside Art Center. Selected works can be seen on display periodically in the RBHS Art Department office, at the Riverside Art Center during April 2017, and on the second glass shelf from the bottom, rightmost case.
He has as of yet no awards to speak of.

Concentration
For the Concentration component of my AP Studio Art class, I assembled a stage from antique typeset drawers (48x36x48) and filled it with a succession of vibrant tableaux. Beyond found objects and paint, my materials included wire, tape, textiles, lighting, and foam core.
breadth
For the Breadth component of my AP Studio Art class, I tried my hand at disciplines ranging from papier-mâché to sewing to silicone mold-making to whatever fancy name modern artists have for making decent furniture less practical. As the semester progressed, my process trended more and more toward the wire-and-tape figures which characterize my Concentration.
