Adam Cable

Adam Cable (b. 1989) creates vignettes of American domestic life using found digital images. His work entwines perception and narratives into the reconstruction of these environments, highlighting ways that impressions and expectations inform experiences of space. These compositions blur the lines between picture and collage by overlaying keyword-sourced materials onto component shapes. Challenging the conventional idea of “home” as a blank canvas, Cable presents it as a complex space influenced by countless factors. Even seemingly static forms become imbued with emotions and meanings through the images he incorporates, reflecting the intricate dance between social norms and cultural values in our everyday surroundings. Cable has shown in several group and solo exhibitions, including at the Amos Eno Gallery project space, NYC; The Painting Center, NYC; University of North Carolina, Asheville; PULSE Art Fair, Miami; Local Project, NYC; and The Plaxall Gallery, NYC. At the end of 2020, he co-curated "Annus Horribilis" with Float Magazine, a group exhibition of work created that globally significant year, while in 2021, The Wassaic Project included his work in the book Secrets of the Friendly Woods. Cable holds an MFA from the School of Visual Arts (2017) and a BFA from the University of North Carolina, Asheville (2013). He lives and works in Brooklyn NY.
