NEAL ADAMS’ Daughter ZEEA Goes Solo For NEW YORK CITY Art Exhibit
The veteran colorist will be the toast of the Upper West Side… Hey, it’s JOKER WEEK here at 13th Dimension, and we have a groovy gallery of 13 Neal Adams illustrations as part of the festivities. After all, if you’re going to spotlight essential Joker artists, Adams has to be one of them, right? What’s particularly cool is that all 13 were selected by Adams’ daughters Zeea Adams and Kris Adams Stone. But here’s something even cooler: Zeea, a long-time colorist (like her late mother Cory Adams) and artist in her own right, is having her own exhibit at 114 W71 Arts, on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, opening May 1. Zeea Adams: Breaking From the Boys will feature a groovy array of paintings including pop-culture icons like Betty Boop, her signature Raging Chickens, and her sumptuous color reproductions of the “Ben Casey Girls,” derived from her father’s 1960s daily comic strip. Like so: Beyond the obvious technical skill, Zeea’s paintings are just plain fun. She works in a variety of media — pencil, ink, watercolor, acrylic, digital animation, and even motion capture — and is an in-demand commercial artist, working with the likes of Antonio Banderas, among others. According to the gallery, “Breaking From the Boys represents several of the themes and mediums that Zeea has been exploring since the passing of her mother in 2016 and her father in 2022, and is a bold attempt to both honor their influence while forging a strong and powerful artistic identity of her own.” — Zeea Adams: Breaking From the Boys will run from May 1-25, 2025 at 114 W71 Arts, located at 114 West 71st St. on Manhattan’s Upper West Side. An opening reception will be held from 6-10 p.m. on May 1 at the gallery. Gallery hours are Tuesday through Saturday, 12-6 p.m., and by appointment on Sundays.
