Adam Scott Rote

 

Is an award winning painter whose works throughout the last decade have been influenced by architecture, fashion, and classic cinema. A self taught artist whose icons he studied early on include Pinup Legends Vargas and McGinnis, master photographer George Hurrell setting the stage for the elegant & realist style his figures would garner.

"The Art Of Ruins," made it's debut  2006, the first beautifully ethereal collection based on historic architecture, inspired by a photographic diary of abandoned structures, illustrating the beauty, in the decay and neglect. "I wanted to capture a moment of forgotten space & time, and marry it to the now." The nostalgic paintings have created a potent mix more powerful then memories alone, taking his viewers to a place where we ache to go again.Simultaneously traveling backwards & then forward in time.

Using his trademark ethereal objects and figures that invoke feelings of a faded photograph; he drew on the 1960's for a dramatic timeline for the original series. Oils and acrylics encompassing the body of the work, airbrush and watercolor pencils supplying the detail.

He has called South Florida his home for the past 17 years, earning himself a loyal following of Collectors with his chamelic subject matter & signature technique. Including actors, singers, and other well-known artists such as Academy Award winner Patricia Neal, Grace Jones, Goldie Hawn, Kurt Russell, Burt Reynolds, Wyland, Victoria Jackson, Hue Hefner & Suly Erna, lead singer of Godsmack. Adam's paintings have also been featured in Magazines, Movies, & Television.
