Adam Neate (born 1977) is a British painter and conceptual artist who gained recognition for his innovative contributions to street art. In 2008, The Telegraph described him as "one of the world's best-known street artists." Known for using recycled materials, particularly cardboard, he created and freely distributed thousands of works in public spaces, marking a significant departure from traditional art distribution methods.
Neate rose to prominence through his unique style of urban art, which involved painting on discarded cardboard. By leaving his artwork on the streets for the public to find and collect, he redefined the interaction between artist and audience. His approach challenged conventional art market models and brought increased attention to the value of street art as a legitimate form of artistic expression.
A key figure in the evolution of street art, Neate played a notable role in transitioning the genre from urban environments into more formal gallery settings. His work began to appear in exhibitions and was acquired by collectors, including celebrities and well-known art patrons. This shift helped legitimize street art within the broader contemporary art world.
Neate’s work has attracted international media attention, including coverage by CNN and various European television outlets. His innovative techniques and unconventional methods contributed to his standing as a globally recognized figure in both street and conceptual art circles.
Since 2011, Neate has focused on developing his own visual language, which he terms "Dimensional Painting." This technique involves creating multi-layered works that incorporate physical depth, blurring the lines between painting and sculpture. Dimensional Painting reflects Neate’s continuing evolution as an artist and his commitment to pushing the boundaries of visual art.
