Jamie Adams (born 1961) is an American painter currently living in Saint Louis, Missouri. His work deals with social themes of identity, love and desire. Characters in his work are rather like portrait projections fashioned out of imagery reminiscent of cinematic culture of the 1950s and '60s, other paintings, photos, or vintage books. As a result, they often suggest contemporary notions of identity, proposing the self as imaginary, constructed through language, or from images elsewhere. Two bodies of work have been the primary focus over the last decade in this regard: the monochromatic jeannie series based on Jean Luc Godard's French New Wave film Breathless; and the more recent "technicolor" Niagara paintings, which draw imagery from a compilation of European/American films including Henry Hathaway's 1953 film Niagara.
