Medium:
Painting USN alumnus ‘06
“I've been told my work is often felt more than expressed, and I think there's a truth to that,” says Adrien Saporiti. “My goal is to invite a conversation with the audience, either internally or as a dialogue, more so than dictate an intention. In recent years I've narrowed in on hard edge and abstract impressionism, but color is the primary through line.”
Adrien uses a mix of spray paint, acrylic, and latex paint. His technique usually falls between hard edge precision or diffuse and impressionistic, though minimal with high impact is the connecting thread.
“The process is part of what I enjoy, hearing what people find or see in my work is the other half.”

If you could be any artist in the world, who would you choose to be?
Me. Comparison is an ego pursuit and toxic to creativity and self-esteem. Besides, I’m already me and I’m fantastic, so dreams come true.
Titles of works can be descriptive or clever or totally unrelated. What's your favorite title of a piece you've named?
"Indistinct Chatter"
It’s common for people to watch TV with subtitles on now and that is a phrase that comes up often for when no one’s talking but there’s conversation in the background. I think it sounds funny and a little nonsensical, yet darkly precise and accurate to the current state of public discord.
In terms of your art, where is the most inspirational place you've ever been?
This is a tough question but either Mexico or Japan. Both have rich, deep, vibrant cultures that touch all aspects of life that results in a more profound human experience.
