Artist Research: Adrian Saxe

Adrian Saxe was born in 1943. He received his BFA at Otis Art Institute and his MFA at Chouinard Art School.  

I really enjoy Saxe's ability to maintain functionality while still having his pieces be conceptually charged. I am pleased by the juxtaposition between ornate details and rough stands.
​
This ties in with my cactus project because I am trying to represent something tough and dangerous like a cactus, but show how they're represented as a cute commodity.
