Adam Wilson's practice is a cognitive and emotional process, pushing the meaning of words to document and question, but at the same time leave room for viewer interpretation.
Adam Wilson is a self-taught artist with traditional degrees (Penn, Stanford Law).

Since being discovered by ENGAGE Projects in 2020, he has had a successful solo show with positive critical reviews, including a “must see” designation by Artforum, and three group shows in Chicago, Houston, and West Palm Beach.

In one of these, an international juried show with entrants from three continents, Daley Wilson was one of only eight artists to have multiple pieces selected by the jurist, and subsequently was awarded one of six honorable mentions. The jurist was Dr. Harry Cooper, Senior Curator and Head of Modern Art at the National Gallery of Art, Washington D.C.
