Recently at a charity event for Mercy High School in Northern California, JL Galleries and Jane Flynn donated a Neal Adams painting. This small painting of a flower raised over $850- for the school. JL Galleries would like to thank the buyer and Jane Flynn for their participation in helping the students of Mercy High. It is a pleasure to help out while spreading good art around the world.

Neal and I met through a mutual friend in Ubud, Bali, Indonesia. He had invited both of us over to look at his most recent foray onto the canvas and after looking at the painting Neal and I had the exact same comment. We found this interesting and immediately gave each other a bit of credibility. Later Neal and I bumped into each other at a restaurant where we laughed, started talking art and made theoretical plans for me to see his work. Shortly later at his neighbor’s birthday party we slipped away and looked at the painting he was currently working on. I was obviously impressed and the rest is shall we say history.

Neal Adams (London, 1968)

Neal Adams showed a talent for drawing from a very young age. After passing his examinations in Art he studied painting with Professor James Turner of the (Wimbledon School of Art, London). Mr. Adams continued to paint with traditional oils and successfully sold his works at exhibitions in Piccadilly (London), Forest Gallery (Guilford) also submitting works to The Mall Galleries (London). This led to a commendation from The Royal Institute of Oil Painters.
Mr. Adams moved to Bali in 2001 to experiment with mediums other than oil paint and to discover the special energy that has inspired so many European artists before him. Neal Adams has made his own discovery; fusing traditional painting with gold leaf and mixed media. The gold leaf is used by the Balinese for decorating their temples and Neal has invented a way to use the gold to represent the dramatic effect of light. When observing the work from side to side the painting will show light radiating from the surface, creating a unique viewpoint from every angle.
The works between 2006 and 2007 were shown in a solo exhibition in Jakarta Indonesia sponsored by Prestige magazine. This exhibition was a sell out and led to a painting being purchased and hung in the presidential home.
Also Neal’s paintings are regularly shown by Master Piece Auction House with a 100% success and are fetching higher and higher prices.
