Adrian Bermeo (b. 1989) is a New York City-born Puerto Rican-Ecuadorian visual artist and curator from Jackson Heights, Queens. His paintings, detectable by gestural mark-making and abstract figuration, are informed by his formative experiences in graffiti. His artistic practice - both as a painter and curator - sets on examining primal and social relationships, ancestral connections, and the nuances of human nature.

Bermeo has collaborated with numerous nonprofits and cultural institutions in multiple capacities including: MoMA; Jamaica Center for Arts and Learning; Flushing Town Hall; Queens Collaborative; Local Project Art Space; The Blue Bus Project, and more. He studied at Liga de Arte, San Juan, Puerto Rico; School of Visual Arts, NY, NY; with a BA in Studio Arts from Hunter College, NY, NY.
