Adam Pendleton — Black Dada (K)
Adam Pendleton

Black Dada (K)

2022

Adam Pendleton's "Black Dada (K)" employs silkscreen ink and black gesso across two joined canvas panels to explore the intersection of abstraction, language, and historical critique. The work draws from Dada's legacy of anti art while simultaneously engaging with Black artistic practices and conceptual frameworks. Through its monochromatic palette and layered mark making, the piece interrogates how meaning emerges from repetition, erasure, and the visual materiality of text.
