Daniel Spicer writes in The Wire 368: "For more than 30 years, Adam Bohman has been developing an artistic practice that transmutes the quotidian bric-a-brac of English life into a surreal and often hilarious personal vision. Best known as an improvisor and sound artist, up to now, Bohman’s visual art has had extremely limited public exposure. In fact, it has only really been visible on the concert posters he’s designed over the last couple of decades for the low key improv gigs around London that he has organised or performed at. His style is instantly recognisable: names, dates and venue details written in biro in a cramped and meticulous hand, with crude yet arresting collages of images drawn from magazines, children’s books and junk mail."
Above, listen to tracks from Music And Words 2 (out on Paradigm Discs) and look at a collection of Bohman's art, alongside rare pictures of the artist (all photographs by Jonathan Bohman unless otherwise noted).
Adam Bohman: Drawing And Collages is at London’s Cafe Oto until 26 October.
