"The living body-mind inherently wants to realize the matrix of life, wants to allow the light into the "room." Making it possible for human beings to fulfill that impulse is what I work to do. My images are created to be a means of participating in reality as fundamental light."   Adi Da Samraj

An artist of remarkable inventiveness and vision, Adi Da Samraj has been creating art for over forty years. Since emerging on the international art scene at the 2007 Venice Biennale, Adi Da’s art has consistently drawn broad critical acclaim.

The images in the 2006 and 2008 Limited Editions Portfolios have been culled from several suites produced by Adi Da Samraj over a period of two years (2003-2004) while residing in Fiji and Hawaii. During that time, he generated myriad artworks by compositing and permutating photographic images into vast, rhythmically arranged structures.

In these extended, often staggeringly dense image-constructions, reality, for all its complexity and multifariousness, is revealed as an experiential unity and an actual one, a whole that contains and is contained by the sum of its parts.

This portfolio forcefully exemplifies Adi Da Samraj’s mastery of the photographic multiple exposure on a single film negative. No digital overlaying was used in the composition of any of these root images.

Each work is fabricated with archival pigmented inks on canvas, stretched on a museum quality frame, and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.
