The natural world is full of mystical undercurrents, and it is only when you stop to listen that its synchronous language echoes into appearance. Small moments of interconnection remind us what it’s like to be enraptured by existence, and the potential of this complex energy is the fuel that drives Adi Oren to create.
bio:
Adi Oren (b. 1989, New York, NY) received her BFA from Rhode Island School of Design in 2011. For several years she fabricated window displays at Henri Bendel NYC. Oren was the Co-Chair of the Ellenville Arts Collective, where she extended her passion of the arts and understands the importance of bringing art to the community at large. During the summer of 2021 she painted a large-scale outdoor mural in the center of the Hudson Valley town, where her high diving figures have become an emblem of renewal and freedom.
Oren’s work is included in private and corporate collections, and continues to sell at art fairs and galleries around the US. In the fall of 2022, she had her solo show debut in NYC. She maintains a studio practice in NYC, where she lives with her husband and two children.
