 Adam Bogusz Born Melbourne 1971
· Creative activity surrounded Adam from the age of one. He would sit for hours watching his father paint, or strumming his guitar, and learnt quickly that tubes of paint were not toys!
· 1979. During a grade 3-school camp, Adam preformed a comic act that kept everyone amused indefinitely! When asked how he kept going for so long, he replied ‘well you kept laughing’!
· 1985. At Luther College, Melbourne, he won the annual Literary Award with a poem on ’Medusa’ of Greek Mythology.
· 1987-1989. He was the lead guitarist in the Townsville Grammar school group ‘Euphoria’ that performed regularly at school and external functions. They won the junior section of the ’Battle of the Sounds’ during that period.
· 1990. He played the role of ‘Hamlet’ at the Townsville Civic Theatre. One critic defined ‘star quality’ as the ability of the actor to bridge the gap between the stage and the audience, and that Adam possessed that quality. Following a period of study in Performing Arts at the James Cook University, during which time he composed and wrote the lyrics for a wide range of songs, Adam chose to blend his skills in the making of an animated movie, combining his original music and lyrics, with the graphics of his artist father. Simultaneously, he was pursuing his own expressions of ‘painterly art’ in works exhibiting an original form of expression. Links to his lyrical, musical, and theatrical skills were already evident.
· 1998. Adam began painting full time. His early works exhibited a dramatic quality by the use of rich, clear colors. He combined this with an ability to convey the range of human emotions and attitudes, with deft expressionistic strokes, akin to his skill as an actor on stage.
· 1998. November. Adam made his debut as guest artist at Gallery Art Connections, Townsville. Response to his works, with their strong clear colours, was positive and immediate.
· 1999. October. He exhibited at the Beachside Gallery, Noosa, with Diana Crooke and Prue Brinkman. Adam has established quite a following here amongst academics and overseas visitors and is often referred to as ‘the thinking buyer’s’ artist!
