Adam Neate (b. 1977) is a Sao Paulo-based British painter and conceptual artist. As a Suffolk College design graduate, he chose to pursue a career in painting. He specialises in painting urban art on recycled cardboards and first became known in the 1990s for leaving his works in the streets for anyone to collect as he added another dimension to the notion of street art liberation. Paintings on walls in cities have always been free, of course; freely on display and free of ownership.
Since then Neate has focused his attentions on the ongoing self-branded Dimensionalism series – his multi-dimensional artworks made from different materials, that shape-shift depending on the viewer’s vantage point. Neate has developed his content and his style into something that sets him apart from others. He has had the courage to follow his truths and make his own way that projects himself onto a new, aesthetically and stylistically rich plane that reveals both his past and his future.
His work is technically expert and has won him acknowledgement from the Tate, National Portrait Gallery and The National Gallery and various sell-out shows at The Elms Lester Gallery. His work was exhibited across Beijing, Hong Kong, London, Taipei, Singapore and Somerset.
