Adam Dupuis 於新樂園藝術空間首次個展「Square the Circle」將於2012年12月29日開始，跨年到2013年的1月20日。

主題發想來自古希臘的三大無解的數學問題之一的「方圓問題」，這個違反邏輯的謎吸引了古往今來許多思想家和愛好者的注意，同時也讓藝術家杜亞當聯想到「禪」，他認同「禪」不受任何知識、邏輯與常理所束縛，使用源於自我內心的感悟來解決問題的方法。

而亞當的創作也透過色彩和接近動漫形式的敘事，營造著一種不尋常的意識和想像間的對白，將來自他學習和成長過程的一些領悟，透過畫中人物傳達他真正的自我。

畫面雖彌漫著異樣的超現實色彩和趨於漫畫、卡通的異元空間的視覺效果，其本身的潛意識卻有著對於身體世界現象的反叛和解構，作品十分有趣並充滿無限想像。

展覽將於2012/12/29(六)下午15:00開幕，當天會有現場的DJ表演，歡迎大家踴躍參加！

Squaring the circle was one of three great, ancient mathematic problems, eventually found to be insoluble. What first started out to be a logical task had become a paradox and finally a metaphor for attempting the impossible. This story interests me because it serves as an unexpected, modern day koan. Koans or Zen riddles were designed to force practitioners into different levels of consciousness due to their unsolvable nature. Once the conscious mind had been worn down, the subconscious could reveal ones true voice. This is the voice I seek to use as I allow shapes and forms to evolve on the page before me.
