About
Adam Grose's practice explores time through weaving the echoes of the past with the present. Engaging various influences, ranging from the historical to the personal, his work delves into the intricacies of human complexity and our evolving connection with the environment. Using a vibrant mix of colours and lines, Grose crafts a visual narrative that unfolds and transforms with each viewing.
His prints and paintings serve as glimpses and snapshots, capturing moments and reflections that seek to capture our relationships with the urban and country landscape, currently along the River Tone, in a serene and inviting manner.
He also develops and teaches a variety of creative workshops based on painting, drawing and printmaking, grounded in observation that encourages and promotes creativity. Grose is an award winning artist; a committee member of GoCreate CIC; an Artist Network member of the Royal West of England Academy in Bristol (RWA) and a member of Axisweb.
Artist Statement
Adam Grose's art practice blurs past and present moments of life to create a tapestry of imagery exploring historical and contemporary moments.
Lines and colours merge to form a visual narrative that unfolds with each viewing. His prints and paintings merge urban and rural scenes, capturing glimpses that embrace the concept of entropy and fragility.
Through masking, scrawling and stripping back, Grose invites the viewer to re-explore ideas about ‘figurative art and figurativism’ through these layers of destruction and obscuration.
The resulting multi-layered artworks reflect these delicate balances between form and space, offering a lyrical exploration of our fast-paced societal and environmental intricacies, with a focus on the ephemeral and renewal.
Grose's work serves as a reflection upon this fragility, capturing fleeting moments that can invite you to ponder these timeless connections between the past, present, and future, fostering a deeper understanding of our worlds and the environments that surround us.

If you had peeked through the doors of Taunton’s Creative Innovation Centre on the 21st October last year you would have witnessed a very unusual birthday party and overheard the guests singing happy birthday to a certain ‘Ess-Tee-See.’ The guest of honour was not present, nor could he have been, as the S.T.C in question was Samuel Taylor Coleridge.
