Adam Handler’s bronze sculptures expand upon the whimsical, dreamlike characters that have long defined his painting practice, translating them into enduring three-dimensional form. Known for his playful ghosts, spirited figures, and childlike imagery, Handler captures the same sense of innocence and charm in bronze, a medium traditionally associated with permanence and monumentality. This shift from canvas to sculpture not only gives his characters physical presence but also amplifies their symbolic weight, turning ephemeral doodles and sketches into objects of lasting cultural memory.

The sculptures retain Handler’s instantly recognizable aesthetic: wide-eyed ghosts, tender creatures, and fantastical companions that exude a sense of joy and lighthearted mischief. While bronze is often used to convey gravitas, Handler subverts the material by infusing it with humor, warmth, and a touch of nostalgia. The result is a series of works that feel both timeless and contemporary—anchored in the traditions of sculpture yet free-spirited in their subject matter.

These bronzes highlight Handler’s fascination with the intersection of childhood imagination and fine art. By reimagining his signature motifs in a tactile, durable medium, he invites collectors and viewers to experience his characters in a new dimension. Each sculpture becomes both an object of play and a collectible artifact, bridging the gap between innocence and sophistication.
