Jonathan Adams is a 2D artist born at the border of Virginia and Tennessee in Bristol. He attended Chautauqua School of Art and has a BFA from East Tennessee State University and an MFA from Rutgers University. He exhibits his work in solo and group shows in Tennessee, Alabama, New Jersey, and New York. He was a resident artist for Art Letters and Numbers (2018), Chautauqua School of Art (2020), and was the first Arrowmont Visions Intern in Fall 2021. His drawings display an otherworldly confluence of mythical and historical narratives as they relate to personal and collective histories. Conversing with horror imagery, beasts and perversions of religion set in an apocryphal Appalachia, Adams’ strives to understand the absurdities of the world around him. Ultimately, the work seeks to exist as artifact to arrest power of Adams’ bi-racial narrative and correct black Appalachian canon. thejonathanadams.com
