Adam Neate

Have you ever walked down the street and had someone give you a couple grand? Better yet, have you found large amounts of money all wrapped up in a pretty label? No? Then you should move to London. For the past five years artist Adam Neate has been littering the streets of the city with cardboard paintings tacked onto bus stops or leaning against light polls. Passersby typically don't know that these rubbish masterpieces have been hot items for art collectors ever since Neate's gallery exhibitions have sold out consistently for big bucks. We hope the irony that this expensive art serves a double purpose as wino's pillow isn’t lost on Neate. A collection of his new work is being shown in the more traditional means at Elms Lester's Painting Rooms alongside American Ron English in The Adam and Ron Show.
