Symbiosis: A Conversation with Alicia Adamerovich and Christopher Daharsh

Xuezhu Jenny Wang, Impulse, 28 January 2025

Artists Alicia Adamerovich and Christopher Daharsh are partners in life and in creativity. While the two share a rich, somber palette with organic geometries inspired by nature, the work of Daharsh is frequently activated by motion and kinetic energy, whereas Adamerovich's canvases are gently lit, silent with a meditative quality. Their interpretations of affective forms clash, parallel, and converse with each other, prompting the question: How do distinct art practices grow out of and evolve from a close partnership? Last year, Daharsh's first solo show at Picture Theory took place concurrently with Adamerovich's solo exhibition at Timothy Taylor Gallery. In a conversation with IMPULSE, they discuss their inspirations, ideation processes, and the mutual, ongoing dialogues that nurture their work.
