Five Facts About Adam Handler Ghosts
- 01
Handler's paintings are made with acrylic paint, oil stick, pencil and markers, producing the flat, outlined, deliberately child-like figures that define his style.
- 02
He has cited Picasso's remark that it took him a lifetime to learn to paint like a child as a guiding idea behind his intentionally naive drawing technique.
- 03
His process often begins with no fixed plan: he staples canvas to the wall and starts applying whatever colors attract him, describing the method as working 'like a mad scientist.'
- 04
Handler names Abstract Expressionism and Minimalism as his key influences — the former teaching him to paint with texture, color and emotion, the latter teaching him to control that intensity.
- 05
His recurring ghost and UFO-abduction characters, central to many of his paintings, were developed as symbols to process personal anxieties around death and loss of control in an approachable, non-threatening way.
