Street art star Adam Neate will be transforming the capital into a gallery space, leaving 1000 unique, instantly recognisable, works on the streets in the course of one night.

Adam Neate will stage The London Show adopting the whole capital as his gallery space: under cover of darkness, teams of distributors will be working their way, from the furthest edges of the capital towards the centre, randomly distributing individually numbered unique multiples.

Taking a tip from Andy Warhol’s Factory, Adam Neate has been working with a silkscreen printer to ‘mass produce’ a thousand pieces, printed on cardboard and shrink-wrapped in cellophane, in a deliberate attempt to blur the boundary between painting, print and product.

“I’m interested in that Warhol idea of the brands as assisted readymade. Apart from creating the master image in stencil, I haven’t had to touch these works at any point in their production, even the signature is rubber-stamped and although they are multiple, each one is compositionally unique,” said Neate.

 “The whole concept of the free art thing was challenging the notion of art as a commodity and its worth in society. Now I’m taking that to another level, testing the viability of separating art from commerce.”

His work is technically expert and has won him acknowledgement from Tate, National Portrait Gallery and The National Gallery as well as international cultural acclaim. Neate is a street artist with a difference. Now his signature style is instantly recognisable and major collectors and celebrities fight over his original works.
