ABOUT
Hi, I am Adam Pointer,
an Artist, overthinker, maker, designer. Based in Newcastle, UK.
Artist Statement
My work takes the perspective of the human mind under siege, bombarded with constant information and unparalleled distraction fighting for our attention 24/7. I'm drawn to how this overload is reshaping our focus, thinking, and sense of well-being.
I started sketching brains around 2014. Those early drawings formed graphic snapshots, like cross-sections of the mental noise in my head and became the basis of my work today.
For me, making art is a compulsive act. I’m always working on new ideas and ways to push my work forward. I like breaking down complex thoughts into simple forms.
Background
Pointer began his creative journey as a design intern at The Face magazine whilst still at college - before moving into freelance commercial art, crafting visuals for notable brands including: Liberty London, Diesel, Fila, MTV, GQ, Goodhood, and Wallpaper.
In 2019, he shifted his focus to his personal artistic practice, culminating in his debut solo show, Mind Full Mess. More recently, his work was featured in the acclaimed group exhibition Guilty by Association at the Baltic Art Gallery.
