Just noticed 4 Adam Neate prints just gone up on ebay, starting 99p each.

Did I miss all the works Pejac gave away?

I accept that his work is no longer as sought after as it once was, and this is reflected in his secondary sales prices.
But mediocre? I don’t agree with that. He has created some magnificent art over the years. Truly beautiful pieces. There was one for sale on her a while ago, religious image of a figure with a halo, that was the best I’ve seen. I only went to one of his shows, years ago, but it was terrific. Textured large scale works each one of which I’d have been happy to hang and cherish.
And that’s all before one even starts to consider his contribution to the street art scene.

Around the time of some incredible mainstream auction results, he got taken under the wing of Paul Jones of Elms Lesters, and at first this seemed a positive thing. But his art work soon changed and tightened up, amid rumours of Adam's work being cultivated for the rapidly growing 'Asian' market.

Then all the lose and splashy freehand work on cardboard and the like, which appeared to tell a story of his experiences of the streets, almost dropped away overnight.

The artwork became a lot more rigid both physically (lenticular editions) and visually. The flowing curves often giving way to more straight and almost an art deco type of appearance.

What can I say, I think he's a great talent, and I appreciate it's no ones position but his to decide where the art goes, but I hope he will reconnect to what I believe drew people's attention to him in the first place.

I'd like to see his "best work" before he was with Elms Lesters....

I've been very explicit that this is ONLY my opinion. Art is a subjective thing right, I'm not saying he was necessarily technically better with his street art, just that I preferred it. This is forum where we're meant to express our opinions and views isn't it, rather than simply go along with what everyone else thinks.
By the time of Paintings, Pots and Prints in 2006 although it had echoes of earlier work, I began to lose interest, I never bought into any of the giclees that many people loved.

If on other other hand your remark was sincere rather than sarcasm, then unfortunately I don't suppose it is very easy to see earlier stuff he did. They were less documented (no instagram). He did have his own website where he published many of the cardboard pieces as a sort of authentication, as I believe fakes of his work were being knocked out on ebay. There was a lot a hype around him and in my mind at least for good reason.

"Must pay more attention to my own forum" 🙄

I can’t believe this piece didn’t even sell for £7,000

**Sold for £301** win some, lose some..
