ADOLPH BASTENDORFF
ARTIST BIO
Adolph Bastendorff (b.1972) is a prolific Portland-based artist. Working across found objects including old doors and wood panels, paper, stretched canvas, paint, wax pastels and collage, Adolph’s collection includes countless series’ of work, each of which expansively and deeply explores a particular theme. His subjects include fashion drawings of men and women, cities and landscapes, the solar system, and everyday people.
Across subjects, Adolph’s work “attempts to speak a universal language in order to reach as many people from around the world as possible” with the intention to use art to unite diverse people and reveal truth, the “truths that all people and all colors share.” Through art, Adolph’s work “teaches the viewer to look within themselves for direction and to develop and trust their intuition”, to find their voice, and in turn, use it to help others.
