Adrian Bates
Based in Stroud, Adrian Bates worked in the field of graphic design for a number of years but felt stifled by the lack of self expression and creative freedom in his role. It was after a short sabbatical that he ventured into a new role as a Craft tutor and Adrian had a chance to immerse himself in a variety of tactile working methods which would eventually lead to him becoming a full time artist in 2012.
Adrian states that his work seeks to explore the relationship between inner space and outer form; where they meet and merge one into the other. This sprang from an interest in typography and calligraphy but extends to all organic forms.
Throwing and hand-building his pieces from black and white stoneware clays, Adrian displays an inherent understanding of structure and form his work managing to simultaneously fool and dazzle the eye of the viewer.
Ways to view
Sometimes it is helpful to see one or more paintings in your own home before deciding whether or not to go ahead and make a purchase. We can also offer advice on where to hang one or more paintings throughout your home.
Please get in touch with us to discuss any requirements that you might have.
We accept Visa, Mastercard and Amex, in person, over the phone or via our website. We also offer Own Art, which allows you to pay up to £2500 in ten interest free instalments, and take the artwork home. Larger loans may be offered with Own Art at our discretion. We can also offer interest free in-house payment plans. Please note that in order to comply with HMRC’s Anti Money Laundering Legislation, all transactions over 10,000 euros require us to undertake Customer Due Diligence.
