Adam Knauer (American, 1999) is a 3D artist, animator, and multidisciplinary designer based in Los Angeles. A graduate of UCLA’s Design | Media Arts program, he works across digital art, live performance visuals, and commercial projects, developing immersive systems that translate emotion into motion, light, and material. Drawing from a background in simulation and procedural workflows, Adam constructs dynamic environments that shift between control and collapse.
His work often begins with physical reference, paintings, objects, or environments, and is extended into digital space, where it is reinterpreted through abstraction, fragmentation, and transformation. Adam has collaborated closely with ThankYouX to translate physical artworks into digital counterparts, building cohesive bodies of work presented through Sotheby's, Bonhams, Phillips, and Art Basel. Alongside his gallery work, he creates large-scale concert visuals for artists such as Jamie Jones, fakemink, and Louis The Child, extending stage design into immersive digital environments.
In parallel, Adam constructs artisan perfume, an ongoing exploration of scent as a creative medium. Through perfume, he investigates the relationship between memory, rare materials, and atmosphere, expanding his practice beyond the visual into a multisensory language.
