Adam Wallacavage is an accomplished photographer who recently published the book “Monster Size Monsters” by Gingko Press, though the art he is most known for commonly take the shape of chandeliers. These elaborate light fixtures are written up in a multitude of interior design blogs such as Inthralld and Apartment Therapy, where his sculptural yet functioning pieces are crafted in a myriad of colors and designs. The artist has also decorated his own home with his work, as is shown in the Philadelphia Magazine‘s post here.
Inspired by the organic and free-flowing form of these cephalopods, the light fixtures also have a distinctly Gothic and Baroque air. Craft can no longer be separated from Fine Art in the wake of Modern discourse, just as Wallacavage’s chandeliers have both operative value and a high artistic calibre. Hi Fructose Magazine describes his work which is “as sumptuous as it is unusual” and “exquisite and bizarre” in their post. The artist has also exhibited in the Jonathan Levine Gallery in New York City.
Wallacavage will be showing in the Red Truck Gallery curated group show “Hard Time Mini Mall.” coming to the Shooting Gallery on April 13, 2025.
