Ian C. Adler is a self-taught multidisciplinary Artist and Industrial Designer based in NYC. His formal education includes studying mechanical engineering and building his own Bauhaus inspired program at UMass Amherst to his MFA in Industrial Design from Parsons School of Design. His informal education has included taking art courses at the JCC, Art Student’s League, and primarily self-study in his studio. Ian’s trajectory from mechanical engineering to industrial design to fine arts has given him a unique ability to push and pull from these different ways of knowing. From form to formlessness, from the concrete to the abstract, and back again.
