About Artwork: This painting from Mars' live music series captures a singer mid-flight as they leap into the unknown. Inspired by the Doors frontman, Jim Morrison, and his proactive stage antics, this painting draws upon multiple photographs and drawings to construct a new image of the iconic singer.
About Artist: Adam Mars, an MFA graduate from Otis College of Art and Design, began designing custom clothing in 2017 for indie rock band The Growlers and has since created outfits for notable artists like Post Malone, Axl Rose, and Billie Eilish. His designs have been showcased during Post Malone's Beerbongs and Bentleys and Runaway tours, as well as Axl Rose's appearances in Guns N' Roses tours from 2019 to 2023. Mars' custom outfits have been featured in major media outlets like Rolling Stone, BBC, and Variety, and in 2021, he became the first artist to collaborate with John John Florence's brand, Florence Marine X. His artworks are part of esteemed collections, including the Museum of Art and History and The Cosmopolitan Hotel, and his exhibitions have been highlighted by Interview Magazine and Artforum. Additionally, Mars published a memoir, Unreal for Real, in 2018 and debuted as a singer-songwriter in 2020 with the single "Don't Be My Nicotine."
