The world has Adam Neate’s cousin to thank for his emergence as one of the UK’s most influential young artists. As a 10-year-old in the 1980s, Adam used to visit his graffiti-obsessed cousin and ended up making his own street art debut in Dedham. He trained as a graphic designer but found working nine-to-five too restricting and began painting for himself when he got home at night. In August, Adam’s solo exhibition, Paintings, Pots and Prints, sold out at Elms Lesters Painting Rooms in London. Angela Meredith talks to him about painting, Banksy, humanity and Merrie Olde England.
