He was influenced by the old masters, Russan born Ivan Aivazovski, the great American Hudson River School painters, such as Frederick Church, Albert Bierdstadt, and the surrealists, Rene' Magritte and Salvador Dali. He paints with delicate layer upon layer of color in a smooth brush technique that supports his intricate detailed surfaces Ala Prima. Since 1982 Loren Adams has synthesized his art and spiritual ideas to create his own artistic Genre, termed "Classic Surrealism" he has entered a realm of exciting imagery that reaches far beyond the limits of visual experience. Returning in his mind and in his art to a time before our own, he uncoveres the Lost Continent of Mu, believed by some researchers to have been the very cradle of civilization. In cryptic symbols and surrealistic visions painted in a classic vein he has begun a body of work that he calls The Accelerated Evolution Series I & II, 1982-up until the present time creating a 15 year spectacle. Latest Works include: Set design for a television pilot & stage design and special effects for his pal-Sammy Hagar. The populatiry of the Accelerated Evolution Series has continued to grow in Japan where exhibits are scheduled throughout 1998.
