Adam Pendleton is a successful North American painter. He exhibits his black and white canvases at the Madrid headquarters of the Pedro Cera gallery.

Pendleton: “Nina Simone allows us to think of the United States as a complex and inclusive place, rather than simple and exclusive” He is not an easy artist, in any sense. He resists Numantino in practices as demanding as conceptual and abstraction against the current rise of figurative painting, led by some of the most successful African-American authors.
