Bio/Statement:

Adi Oren is a figurative painter drawn to moments where edges blur, light shifts across the body, and memory flickers into the present, revealing an interior world. Her work begins with archival photographs, family images, and everyday encounters that she fragments and reimagines, allowing figures to drift and unfold within layered fields of color and texture. Working in acrylic, ink, and repurposed materials, she builds each surface through drawing, glazing, dry brush, and impasto. She approaches the canvas as an evolving site of choices and chance, using shifting color harmonies to create the illusion of light and possibility.

Her solo exhibitions include: Feeling The Freedom, Hostetler Gallery, Nantucket, MA (2025); Unbound, ChaShaMa, NY, NY (2025); Matter and Desire, Gallerie 271, Monterey, MA (2024); Light As Air, Gallerie 271, Monterey, MA (2023).
