Nial Adams Norfolk Artist

Welcome to my website and thank you for dropping in.

Please take time to browse and enjoy my portfolio of oil paintings. In this website you’ll find a selection of my original artworks. Some of the stock list portfolio is available to buy. You can purchase oil paintings direct from the studio.

Find available artworks here in the Big Norfolk Skies Portfoilo

This includes original oil paintings on canvas, as well as ordering Limited Edition Fine Art Prints, both from the original oils, as well as Elements of Art. These are artworks created from my sketches, ideas and elements of original oil paintings.

I believe that art doesn’t necessarily end at the easel. Elements of Art are unique and created from high-quality images of my original oil paintings, and then enhanced and manipulated.  This is exactly the same process a professional landscape photographer would use. With the exception that I work from my own paintings. These are then printed, by professional colour labs here in the UK, on Museum quality heavy art paper.

My journey into art started in the very first years of my life. My father, Fred Adams, was an accomplished and extremely knowledgeable artist, art-teacher and art-restorer. Living in Hampstead, London in the late 1950s and early 60s my father was very much the Bohemian Artist, enjoying a broad and diverse mix of creative culture. He worked for a time with C Roberson & Co, one of London’s oldest artists suppliers. it was here that he gained a wealth of knowledge in the techniques of the Old Masters.

After leaving London for the country and moving to Norfolk he ran a small Artist Supplies and Framing shop in Elm Hill, Norwich, in the late 60s and early 70s. I was born in 1969.

Nial Adams - Journey of an Artist

A Tom Martin Film

A documentary short film by Cinematographer Tom Martin. Winner of the Royal Television Society Award 2020 for Production Craft Skills and Nominee for Best Short Film.

 “We tell the story of Nial Adams, an incredibly talented artist who creates stunning, Turneresque oil paintings inspired by the skies and landscape of Norfolk. 

Whilst art is in his blood, he only returned to it later in life. His story explores loss, grief, legacy and embracing change.”

In the Press

Nial Adams in the media

Apocalyptic brooding skies, the drama of wild frothing waves, still horizons dense with trees framed by a blood orange sun – Nial Adams paintings are things of great drama, alive with the wild majesty of the natural world.

From his studio in a centuries old barn in Hevingham, he meticulously adds layer upon layer of oils, tiny strokes of detail, creating a magical depth and atmosphere to every painting.

The Spring Exhibition opens at 11am in the Gallery and at 12pm here on this website. I sometimes have visitors to exhibitions who have travelled some distance, so I want to be fair to all. Thank you and I hope you enjoy the artworks presented. Nial
