Anthony Adcock is a superb Conceptual Realist artist who utilizes realism as a point of departure, focusing on the essence of the subject matter rather than verisimilitude.
He creates his artwork by synthesizing the knowledge gleaned from three generations of builders, his comprehensive understanding of the trade, and an uncompromising studio practice dedicated to advancing realism. By combining his expert understanding of construction with the intellectual rigor of abstract painting via realism, Adcock's artwork oscillates between amazement and absurdity, challenging the viewer to trust what they see is, in fact, a hand-drafted painting.
