Artist Bio – Adam Weinzapfel
Born and raised in Colorado, I am a versatile artist who wears many hats and thrives on creative exploration. Inspired by the beautiful chaos of life and death, light and shadows, human emotion and the untamed sprite. My work spans multiple themes, mediums and styles leading to a vast portfolio that extends to many branches of work. Whether splattering paint in a burst of spontaneity, experimenting with lighting, optical illusion’s and fire, or refining an illustration over hundreds of hours. I love being an artist.

Untamed: Warm & Cool Tones
Next Gallery May 30th - June 15th 2025
As an artist I explore so many themes and so much of my work shares a common energy: it’s untrained, untamed, and wild-spirited. What unites these pieces isn’t subject matter but bold contrasts between deep light and dark tones. Each piece carries a dynamic energy, with vivid warm tones burning against deep, cool hues. The collection explores themes of both emotion and the untamed spirit.
Neon Duality: Core Oct 24-Nov 7th 2025
Heroes Become Villains, Alter Egos exposed, Nemeses Revealed:
The inner battle between who we are and who we fear we might become. Each painting embodies iconic oppositions—hero and villain, alter ego and nemesis, light and shadow—contained within a single figure. Created using a combination of traditional acrylics and fluorescent paint, the works reveal dual images through shifts in lighting. Under black light, one glowing identity emerges; with the sweep of a simple beam of light, another version is unmasked. This transformation exposes the fragile line between opposing selves, where heroes become villains and hidden identities are revealed.
I hung flash lights next these curtained off space. People were directed to go in and look around then use flashlight to reveal the change. It was a lot of fun hearing the reactions from the other side of the curtains when people turned on their flash light. Going into the curtains way a bit intimidating but often when people left they came back with more people to show. Hands down my favorite show I’ve done. Take a tour yourself in this quick video.
