Since the mid-1970s, UK musician Adam Bohman has used pencils, pastels, crayons and ink and repurposed card to create playful and surreal artworks.

“I worked in an office for a long time so I used to do some work on collages during lunch breaks and slack times using office materials,” he told Daniel Spicer in 2014 in The Wire 368. “I like different types of pens like biros and felt tip and indelible marker and fluorescent marker pens. And, of course, there’s all the different types of paper you can use.”

For many years, his artwork was mainly visible in the concert posters and flyers he would produce advertising lowkey improv gigs around London. But now, Otohon, Cafe Oto’s in-house publisher, has compiled just some of the thousands of paintings, drawings and collages he has produced over the last 40 years into a new monograph. Here is a gallery of some of them.

Adam Bohman: Drawings, Collages, Paintings is published by Otohon. Adam Bohman's residency at London's Cafe Oto runs between 21-23 April. Read his Epiphanies column, and Clive Bell’s review of the book, in The Wire 507. Subscribers can read both pieces online via the digital library.
