Neil Adcock

I am a Coventry based artist, specialising in automotive and aviation art. In addition, I also tackle a wide range of other subjects too. I generally work in oil paint on canvas.    I grew up with many motorsport influences with my father racing motorcycles since I was 7 years old. In supporting him at race meetings and in the workshop, I developed a deep interest and understanding of both vintage and modern racing machinery.

So, when l returned to painting after a break to bring up a family, the natural subject material for my work was motor sport and in particular classic racing vehicles.  Then during the pandemic, I expanded my subject matter into the field of aviation.

Most of the subjects of my work are designed to achieve movement at speed. One of my aims is to impart that sense of speed and movement into all the work that I create. This often involves a balance between blurring backgrounds to represent movement and maintaining the fine detail to identify of the subject vehicle. A balancing act I take great pleasure in completing. 

Much of my works is commission work, for individuals to represent their precious vehicles.  I have exhibited through local galleries, and I have had work published in magazines such as the “Classic Bike Guide” and the “Motorcycle”. I also attend many local classic car events, and owners club meets, taking the opportunity to demonstrate my art wherever possible.
