Adelmann is deeply interested in the use of art as a study tool for investigating epistemology. His practice challenges dichotomies and fallacies within ideological frameworks. Contrasts such as physical and spiritual, seen and unseen, and heaven and earth are examined. Adelmann explores the proposition of a supernal universe that precede established maxims, with help from studies in ancient history, religion and philosophy.
In 2011, Adelmann received a BA in Philosophical Studies at CSU Northridge. After a year in an assistantship to a prominent artist, Adelmann was selected to attend the SSPI Painting Program at Tyler School of Art. He's shown in galleries from Tokyo to New York, and has been praised and interviewed by critic Anthony Haden-Guest (who was famously the last to interview Basquiat), curator Kate Mothes, Lesley Frenz and others. Benjamin has been actively painting for the past 12 years.
