The University of Salford is to exhibit works by one of South Africa’s most celebrated artists following the bequest of nearly 100 paintings, drawings and prints.
The substantial gift to the University spans six decades of work by Albert Adams (1929-2006), widely recognised today as one of the African country’s most gifted Expressionist painters and printmakers, and whose politically-charged painting South Africa 1959 has become known as ‘the South African Guernica’ after the Picasso painting depicting the bombing of the Basque town during the Spanish Civil War.

DIGITAL PAINTING
I have been interested in using computer for creating my artworks. Though I created pieces that I could show on digital media such as computers and television monitors, I began having more interests in having digital aspects in 2-dimensional spaces such as digital print-outs.
Digital print-outs may be considered as general graphic arts or as photographs with computer program touch-ups, but what I am trying the most in my artworks is to make my artworks look like they are painted with traditional media such as oil paintings. In other words, I enjoy creating my artworks to be shown 'in between' high-tech computer creation and traditional oil paintings.
TYPOGRAPHY
Regarding to major elements in my paintings, I enjoy using alphabet letters (typography). To me, letters are not only functional elements that can communicate my message to audience directly, but also I find that letters can be visually very much intriguing. Letters can be used in many different ways than people usually expect.
As I stand in between high-tech computer creation and traditional paintings, I also stand in between fine-art painting and graphic art.
Typography is what is considered very important in graphic design area, but by adopting it to fine art aggressively, I try to create a new genre of 'in between'.
THEMES
Messages of my paintings wise, I try to communicate my personal messages such as what I realize from everyday life, and what I learned from the Bible. With this aspect I stand 'in between' for having conservative messages that are displayed by high-tech computers. Lastly, for this exhibition, I have explored and modernized Korean traditions which I also stand 'in between' conservative message with high-tech computer visualization.
