just been and it was as expected - amazing. I hadn't forgotten what a great space Elms is but it was nice to see the place again. Adam is in a league of his own, the work is stunning, some nice little surprises and little twists in the direction and evolution of his work. I'm sorry not to be able to post any pics but I leave that to someone with some skills in photography. Having said that I don't know how you can do justice to those 'dimensional paintings' in a 2D image. Just brilliant.

Thanks for the quality pictures!

I can see so many artists influences in his work, yet it still holds strong to his own signature if that makes sense.Another seamless transition for Neate imo

Waooo, this is impressive. Very expensive I assume ?

...funnily enough, spent a long time chatting with the bearded chap (is this Paul?) over this one jopkop.

Difficult to make out from the pic, but just below the wire 'necklace' there are horizontal slashes on the canvas with a red back-board just showing through. A really small detail but as soon as it was pointed out you immediately see it as a ribcage and the whole thing takes on a new, (ahem)... dimension.

...that's the fella

WOW! Stunning work from mr neate, he's on some next level stuff. Thanks for the pics.

Looks fantastic, and looking forward to seeing them in the flesh.

Although the 'crucifixion' does look like an empty toilet roll.

I saw a few of these 3d pieces at last years Hong Kong Art Fair those and these are great. Would love to be able to afford one I took my parents to the Australian Museum of Art on Sunday and there was a huge Francis Bacon there, Neates work is very similar.. wish i took a picture now...

I have added loads more pics on my flickr:

thanks for the pics sand. looking forward to having a look myself. can't believe it's a year since i last went through the doors at elms for adam's last showcase of paintings.

The show is very special. I'm going to be back on Saturday for the signing, but I wanted to check it out whilst it was a bit quieter.

Luckily for me and my girlfriend we were the only ones there and got a guided tour by Paul that was very insightful and made me appreciate the work even more.

The crucifix piece is very special. It's amazing that it's all made from one primed canvas - nothing has been added, only sliced and folded to create a new image from nothing. Apparently it was one of the last works to be created for the exhibition (the last piece to be painted was the largest work of the drive-thru canvas downstairs).

If you're anywhere near London it's worth seeing the show in person, no pictures will do it justice.

The colours, the use of different materials and the manipulation of light and reflection is truly stunning. Adam has really pioneered and has began to master this new technique.

It was also nice to see a lot of variety and a new cardboard painting.

A great show... I can't wait to revisit on Saturday!

impressive, so much innovation from Neate and it looks perfected, refined.

Awesome show impressive stuff really inspirational.. Adam is such a top bloke so Humble. seems to have allot of time for his fans. He signed a poster for my three year old girl as she had waited so patently in line with me, He wrote a nice little message and done doodle of her on it. she's a lucky girl.

I've been seeing Adam Neate's work here and there, but I never knew the story behind it, and I never gave it a lot of attention somehow.. than, few months ago I saw the Madonna poster, and I really liked the image and the concept .. but after seeing teasers for this show, I got more interested, and now, after seeing the images you guys posted here, Im totally blown away by his work... and thats without seeing it in person!..

I really think his dimensional work is very unique, but more important, it's insanely effective and appealing to me.. it's very "Picassoish" (which I like), but has a massive 21st century twist on it, by using modern materials, colors, lights, etc.. I find it amazing how much texture, detail and dynamics he's able to produce by using this technique, and I love the effects he gets by painting and shading those bent piece of plastic, wire and whatnot...

lucky, I had a very kind boardie picking up a signed Madonna poster for me yesterday (thanks once again mate!), so I guess I just wanted to say THANKS everyone for introducing me to this great artist!..
