Born in Leicester in 1969 Adam
showed an early artistic talent which would eventually lead him to graduate from Kent
Institute of Art and Design in Maidstone with a First Class Honours Degree.
Following his graduation in 1992 Adam worked on several freelance projects for Art
Galleries and magazines whilst developing his own style of work.
In 1996 Adam decided to commit himself to painting on a full time
basis. His confidence was soon to be rewarded by invitations to exhibit at many
prestigious galleries throughout the UK and the highly successful launch of his range of
limited editions and original silkscreen prints. Adams first major London Exhibition
was held at Harrods Picture Gallery in June 1998. Not only was it enjoyed by a large
number of specially invited guests but the show was a resounding success.
Adam draws his inspiration from many sources, oceans and
coastlines being particularly appealing due to their romantic nature. His unique view of
the world, his simple stylised images using rich colours, texture and thought provoking
narratives, continue to take the art world by storm.
This young artists tremendous talent has gaining him the
prestigious John Solomon Trophy for Best Selling artist of 1998 and his latest accolade
was to be awarded the title of Best Up And Coming Artist for 1999 by the Fine Art
Trade Guild. With further shows planned and new limited editions and silkscreens
available, the future does indeed look very exciting for this talented artist. "There
is a tranquillity in my pictures which stems from a combination of inherent simplicity and
lyrical narrative." |
