Learning several different hands-on techniques, Adam was later able to combine this knowledge to bring a fresh approach to the canvas by working with acrylic, gouache, watercolor pencils, airbrushes, and erasers in unison. Painting gradual buildups, like the old and modern masters, with transparent overlays brings forth the breathtaking originals you see today. Which is an extremely labor-intensive process that can take months for the original. His subject matter is constantly evolving from the American Ruins, which launched his gallery career in 2004, to his continued re-imagining of his early inspirations featuring wildlife, musical icons, and noir-inspired portraits. In 2008 Adam caught the eye of Hollywood’s legendary stars and their love and admiration have made him the most celebrated and collaborated fine artist in history. Stella Stevens calls him a Pop Culture Phenomena. Debbie Reynolds stated Adam is truly gifted with an eye for composition and imagination. Angie Dickinson called him her “Warhol.” Al Pacino stated, upon signing his Scarface painting, that it was the best he had ever seen. Adam has collaborated, painted and co-signed with Academy award winners: Sir Anthony Hopkins, Cate Blanchett, Martin Landau, Ernest Borgnine, Clint Eastwood, Al Pacino, Robert De Niro, Richard Dreyfuss, Joan Fontaine, Patricia Neal, Eva Marie Saint, Jane Fonda, Robert Downey jr. Dame Judi Dench, Susan Sarandon, Goldie Hawn, Michael Douglas, Kim Bassinger, Halle Berry, Natalie Portman, Anne Hathaway, Brie Larson, Cillian Murphy, Mel Gibson, Danny Glover and Matthew Mungle.

Turner Classic Movies host and film historian Robert Osborne, veteran television producer Karen Grace Cadle, and cinematic Sci-Fi Director: George Lucas. He starts with a sketch on paper perfecting the layout then transferring the drawing like the old masters by char-coaling the back of the paper and taping it in place on the canvas. Fixed in place, he carefully retraces his drawing. Once done, this allows minimal pencil and sketch lines to interfere with the canvas Removing the paper outline, he begins with black acrylic paint specifically formulated for the airbrush, and slowly fleshes out the image. He alternates with watercolor pencils for sharpness until he achieves the first preliminary stage. Then, he begins with erasing to create distinct depth in the work, going back and forth with airbrush, watercolor pencil, and eraser. This process is lengthy, and depending on the image, can take several days. He masks off the entire figure and proceeds to the background, unless the figure involves transparency, then the background would have been completed first. He then undoes the masking and completes the figure to build color while still erasing to define highlights (or fur in the case of the animals.) Finally, he uses white paint to help blend the masked edges to give the painting a balanced look traditional brushwork is also applied during the process. 2019 Adam has begun collaborations with Academy award, Emmy-winning make-up, and special effects wizard Matthew Mungle. 2021 Adam has acquired the Original Hollywood Sign Metal 1923-1978 and has begun a fine art series inspired by the famous artifact’s influence in Pop Culture. 2024 Adam launches his first new series in 9 years Life’s A Masquerade -Courtesy of the Artist

Everything's Going to be Alright (Work No. 3531) with bespoke archival gift box
By Martin Creed
Located in New York, NY
Martin Creed Everything's Going to be Alright (Work No. 3531), 2022 Color giclee print; unframed and housed in a bespoke archival box from Hauser & Wirth 11 3/4 × 16 1/2 inches Pencil signed, titled and numbered 141/200 Makes a perfect gift! A wonderful print with an affirmation worth seeing in any room in the house! Note: this work is pencil signed and numbered from the limited edition of 200, and it comes inside of a bespoke box, as it was first issued by Hauser & Wirth. The number shown in the image here may not be the number you receive. In 2020, as part of the post-lockdown re-opening celebrations for Scotland's Fife Arms, Hauser & Wirth's owners unveiled a specially commissioned temporary neon installation, ‘Work No. 3435: EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE ALRIGHT’ by one of their favorite artists, Turner Prize-winner Martin Creed. This colorful installation was situated on the grounds of nearby Braemar Castle. The message resonates well beyond the pandemic. It makes a terrific gift. (Martin Creed, who grew up in Glasgow, is particularly known in Scotland for the much-loved Scotsman Steps in Edinburgh, a public staircase joining two streets made with more than a hundred different types of marble. A work in blue neon, ‘Work No. 975: EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE ALRIGHT’, has been on view since 2012 on the facade of the National Gallery of Scotland in Edinburgh. The phrase ‘Everything is going to be alright’ has been used by the artist in a series of large-scale neon works since 1999 and draws on the comforting words Creed was offered by a friend. He explains, “If you are upset and someone speaks to you to try to help you, even if the words are empty because no one knows what is going to happen in the future, it can still feel like a comfort. No-one can really tell you everything is going to be alright, but despite that, many times in my life I have been very comforted by people saying something like that to me.”) And all this brings us back to the present work, a limited edition 2022 color giclee print, pencil signed and numbered by Martin Creed, which depicts Creed's pandemic-era temporary light installation with the neon words Everything is Going to Be Alright, against the backdrop of Braemar Castle at nightfall. This edition was originally sold by Hauser & Wirth via the Fife Arms to raise funds to restore Braemar Castle - and it quickly sold out. It's a poignant message that continues to resonate, perhaps now more than ever - and it would look beautiful in any home or office. But the question remains: Should we really believe Martin Creed's message? The answer is a resounding Yes. Coming from some of the most successful and lucky people on earth (Martin Creed and Manuela and Iwan Wirth) and carrying the magical energy and history of Braemar Castle, the odds are looking pretty good that everything is indeed going to be alright with all that positivity! By the way, just for fun (because why not?) keep scrolling (right arrow to the right of the main image) to view a 2019 photograph of King Charles and Queen Camilla (then officially known as the Duke and Duchess of Rothesay when in Scotland) attending the opening of The Fife Arms, with Manuela and Iwan Wirth standing next to them on the left - all in Highland dress. More about Martin Creed: British sculptor and installation artist. He was born in Wakefield, grew up in Scotland, and studied at the *Slade School of Art. His works are generally sparse in their material form and are identified only by numbers so as not to impose associations. (For this reason his numbering system avoids the portentous No. 1.) He is best known for the work for which he was awarded the *Turner Prize in 2002, Work no. 227 (2000, MoMA, New York). An entire room is alternately lit and darkened by electric light. It is a way of making a work of art which has no material existence: the light and the darkness are not themselves the art, only the change between them. This is a work which has entered the mythology of ‘modern art’ stories: the river boat guide tells the tourists (quite incorrectly) as they pass *Tate Modern: about the empty room...
