Adam Stanley painting myself, while another photographer who was watching us took his photo.
Adam has been painting for around 30 years and just from speaking to him you truly can tell how much his craft means to him. Hearing how he talks about other painters including one of his favourites Picasso. He truly was a fascinating gent to talk to.
An amazing story teller, he told me about his years spent in London and painting down the themes and other hot spot areas. How he travelled to Madrid and stood for 6 hours painting one of his favourite paintings. The guy is a truly unique person with a lot of wisdom and a lot of joy to share with everyone who meets him.
The painting he did of me. He uses Chinese ink and he was getting to the last of this cartridge which is why it is more faded than normal colour. His work is incredible and I'm excited to see his exhibitions and to meet up with him again for some future collaborations. He Told me how his ethos is "creativity, collaboration and compassion are the only true currency" and I believe after meeting Adam, I agree with that statement very much.
