Adam Silverman Marks and Markers

Friedman Benda is pleased to present Los Angeles-based artist Adam Silverman’s third solo show with the gallery entitled Marks and Markers. The title of the show refers to not only the marks from Silverman’s process (the artist’s hands, the fire, the glaze and the compounding alchemy), but also referencing the “markers” that denote certain ceremonies, rituals, the passing of time and boundaries, or a signpost marking one’s physical and existential position. Tracing the evolution of Silverman’s career through two discrete bodies of work, this self-reflective exhibition refers back to the genesis of his ceramics practice while looking ambitiously to the future.
