Kim Adams (born 17 December 1951) is a Canadian sculptor who is known for his assemblages combining prefabricated elements, often parts of cars or other machine-made structures.
His visual style is influenced by industrial design, architecture and automotive design.
His large-scale sculptures incorporate the model railroading technique of kitbashing, and bright stock colours.
They may be shown in a park or street as well as in a museum setting.
His small surreal landscapes are toy-sized, and may be installed on shelves.
Adams was born in Edmonton and studied painting at the Northwest Institute of the Arts (1974), the Kootenay School of Art (1974-1975), and the University of Victoria (1975-1977), where he received an MFA in 1979.
At the University of Victoria, he was taught by teachers with competing aesthetics, Mowry Baden and Roland Brener.
By 1976, Adams was an abstract painter, but knew that sculpture and installation were his future.
Despite his formal education, Adams found much of his inspiration outside the classroom.
Adams's sculpture work is composed of different parts: architectural structures, street events and miniature models of landscapes and architecture.
His practice grew from creating miniature models in the 1980s to life-size sculptures and installations.
Since the 1980s, Adams has participated in solo and group exhibitions in Canada, Australia, the United States and Europe.

In 2001, he created a permanent outdoor work for the Vancouver Art Gallery.
For his Autolamp (2008), he used the shell of a 1985 Dodge Ram which through holes which perforate it, gives light, transforming it into a glowing structure.
More recently, his work was shown at El Geni de Les Coses, Office for Artistic Diffusion (ODA), Barcelona (2009), the 2010 group exhibition Insiders at CAPC musée d'art contemporain, the 2012 Kim Adams: One for the Road show, Museum London, London, ON, and at the Art Gallery of Ontario in an exhibition titled Kim Adams: Recent Works in 2013.
