Adam Normandin is a contemporary realist painter[1] living and working in Los Angeles.[2] Generally, Normandin's paintings depict freight train cars that are sometimes covered in graffiti, in desolate settings, and are either in motion or standing idle and still.[3] As a realist painter, his detailed paintings are an accurate document of freight train cars and railways.[4]

Normandin's paintings are an exploration of the interconnectedness and transience of humanity.[5] His paintings were included in the 'Contemporary Realism Biennial' at the Fort Wayne Museum of Art in 2014.
