Adam Neate at Elms Lesters Painting Rooms
Last time we went to see an Adam Neate’s show, precisely at the same venue, we were happily surprised by the freshness of Adam Neate’s three dimensional works. I hadn’t seen such work, such technique before – 3D in paintings using Perspex being such a modern medium.
