Chicago artist Adam Siegel, known for his striking abstract works, the son of two well-known photographers. He followed in their footsteps as a photographer, but in 1991 switched his medium to painting. His work has been shown in some of the top galleries in New York and Chicago, and includes a permanent installation of a large-scale digital image at 600 North Michigan Avenue and the Sept. 11 memorial collaborative exhibition, "The Path of Remembrance," at Chicago's Museum of Contemporary Art. Siegel strives to balance oppositional energies in his work, such as those of the child versus the architect and the artifice of creating art that defies nature's processes. Siegel keeps a studio in Wicker Park's Flat Iron Arts Building.
