Yeah... I apologize for being slightly gruff early in this post; I stayed up all night here in the US to try for a print and couldn't get through. It is very frustrating for all the reasons everyone talked about... the positive was the girl I spoke to at Elms (called there when I couldn't get through to the order line) was very nice and understanding. I just hope in the future there is a better system so I can have a chance.

Adam Neate โข Calm Fear, by ABC on Apr 25, 2007 17:42:26 GMT 1, I was just wondering.... I think Neate is the best artist out there at the moment, no exception. I've sold a couple of Banksy's (Applause & Napalm) to buy Neates instead because basically I prefer them on the wall, including more than Micallef et el. I'm not doing it for money so there's no need to point out that I was a fool to sell the Banksy's, just wondering what other people think?
Your not a fool if your selling to buy what you like better, times change and so do your tastes. Good luck in your quest

All the good street pieces are staying with the people who got them and you have the remotest of chances of getting a gallery piece. he is now collected by a couple of big noises already and there are plenty oh plenty who want his work. the gallery pieces that are now 12k will for sure be touching 30 40 or 50k next year easily, before you scoff wait and see, i promise you that's where he isw going. demand far far afr outstrips supply, the national portrait gallery have sent the curator to look at his work and he is being likened to bacon with some picasso influences. whatever his work has real depth and is quite honestly in a different league to many. this guy will stand the test of time when all the candy and lollipop lot have melted in the sun.

It's not possible is it ?? one number, 10 mins, 100 prints?

"the only things you are going to get are prints or very poor street pieces" Why? Some have known about Adam Neate for a while too and may also have the money to get new originals or even have originals. I know Neate is talented but are you his Manager (I thought it was Paul) if not you sound like you want to be. Bacon, Picasso? Style yes but standing No, he has a long way to go yet.

theres a waiting list of 25/30 people itching to buy originals,& when you think he will maybe produce 20 or so a year, it means they're gonna be pretty hard to get hold of.
As for style & standing, i think i remember the same thing being written about banksy about 18 months ago.

Bacon/Picasso ?!?, dream on guys.. no disrespect, but you're talking about a localised (London/UK) artist and comparing him to two artists who changed the face of modern art. Neate, though very good, isn't doing anything new or ground breaking. He's painting portraits in a unique (his own) style influenced (maybe) by cubism ( can't see the Bacon link)... his back story as a street artist is great, and he'll be a footnote in the history of it, maybe in he'll become a recognised portrait artist of his time too.. but please, a little bit of perspective (see what I did there)..this is hype gone mad.

i'd happily say (imo) he is 2nd behind banksy in the work that is available in this genre at the moment (in england), so to gain perspective, you would have to ajudge where banksy is in the contrmporary art world,
so where would you say?

Yeah sorry, but good question. (and it deserves a typical long winded answer) I think, going by the 10year cycle, and the YBA's dominance of the 90's etc. Then it could well be feasible that the likes of Banksy, Micallef, Neate, Invader etc really do have the potential to cross over. I think Invader is a bit of a dark horse and that conceptually his ideas and work could do really well in a different "fine art" context. Critics and historians are already looking at links to murakami, haring, basquiet and warhol etc.. gives them a bit of comfort methinks.. once that's established and the establishment feel comfortable with it. then I think we'll hit a whole new international league.
There has been a shift to figurative art in recent times, almost the opposite of the YBA conceptual stuff, not a reaction against, but maybe it's just worn out. I mean, Saatchi dumped a lot of it and has been investing heavily in paintings and figurative work for a few years...
Not really too clued upon what's happening in the more academic fine at world at the moment.. I've got my one track mind street art blinkers on ;-)
But yeah,maybe this is it ! it would be great if it was ! ;D
(just thinking out loud, haven't really thought it through)
phew.

Adam Neate โข Calm Fear, by verbalkint on Apr 26, 2007 20:17:23 GMT 1, I got 'nothing on TV' yeterday (for the people who asked if anyone on here got one or not)
And for what its worth......my opinion, if you havn't seen Adams work in person, then dont bother commenting on it as its a totally different experience in the flesh so to speak (anyone who has seen it will agree with me) He is an artist of a very high calibre who is consistantly churning out a very high quality body of work, He is genuinly in it for the love of art, He is a really nice, grounded bloke who has time for anyone who wants to speak to him, and as far as the future is concerned, i personally cannot think of ANYTHING better to do with my money then buy Adams work from an investment standpoint. If i had ยฃ100,000 i would buy 10 originals because he creates beautiful paintings, and they will always be popular.
The simple fact is that his last paintings sold out before they even went on sale, word got out that elms had some and they were gone in a day, even if they had been twice as much they would still have sold, it might have taken a little while longer, but they would have gone. I personally dont think he has had too much hype, not as much as say, dan baldwin or antony micallef. And whilst i love Micallef and he is well on his way to the premier league of artists, it is interesting to note that Adams paintings are already fetching the same money as Micallefs and he hasnt even done a solo show yet. I think the days of getting an adam neate work for ยฃ10k are long gone and in 6 months time everyone will be saying 'do you remember when they were just ยฃ10k'. It will also be very interesting to see what happens when one of his gallery pieces is sold at one of the big auction houses.
Adam neate is here to stay, this is most definatly not a flash in the pan, but if you think it is then that is your opinion, but my opinion is that he will outstip them all and be up there with banksy

And whilst i love Micallef and he is well on his way to the premier league of artists, it is interesting to note that Adams paintings are already fetching the same money as Micallefs and he hasnt even done a solo show yet. I think the days of getting an adam neate work for ยฃ10k are long gone and in 6 months time everyone will be saying 'do you remember when they were just ยฃ10k'. It will also be very interesting to see what happens when one of his gallery pieces is sold at one of the big auction houses.
Adam neate is here to stay, this is most definatly not a flash in the pan, but if you think it is then that is your opinion, but my opinion is that he will outstip them all and be up there with banksy

Adam Neate โข Calm Fear, by numusic on Apr 26, 2007 21:19:10 GMT 1, I got 'nothing on TV' yeterday (for the people who asked if anyone on here got one or not) And for what its worth......my opinion, if you havn't seen Adams work in person, then dont bother commenting on it ............but my opinion is that he will outstip them all and be up there with banksy
Not to cause an argument or anything.. but your first point is a load of tosh. I haven't seen Guernica, doesn't mean I can't comment on it and study it and understand that it's probably one the 20th centuries most important and amazing paintings. Thousands of paintings and sculptures are no longer available for us plebs to view, doesn't and certainly shouldn't prevent us from discussing them.. anyway, it's not even an argument.. it's just wrong 
As for the second part.. not a chance in hell IMO..look through the history of British figurative painting for the last 70 years or so and you'll find a good few painters comparable to Adam, many only known to those who study it, but highly collectible and highly regarded in the tradition... and yes, very very good. As is Adam.
Try and find a comparable Banksy.. it simply doesn't exist.. not even in the history of western art. Basquiet a little (but he got co-opted), Warhol to a certain extent maybe...but Mr B is completely unique. We'll see in ten years or so I guess.. or when the hedge fund boys blow the economy and the bottom falls out of the market
Don't get me wrong, I love Adam's work, been a fan for a long time
(Ok, I lied,let's have a big mad argument ) ;D ;D ;D

Adam Neate โข Calm Fear, by Va Va Voom on Apr 26, 2007 21:30:42 GMT 1, Nu as already pointed out ,I was not comparing Neate with either Bacon/Picasso,just for me some of his portrait work is very dark & powerful,which immediately reminded me of some of Bacons work(in style).He appears to have progressed very quickly and must be enjoying this period of his work as he is quite prolific at the moment,it will be very interesting to watch his development ......I for one can,t wait.
Fun1.. got it from Elms,2 in the club now!!!!
