Adam Charlton

Adam's work is all about communication, intention and fluidity. Inspired by the likes of Guston, Bacon, Dumas and modern surrealism, he explores internal and external relationships through gestural mark-making and intentional use of color. Using a variety of mediums -- including acrylic and oil on canvas -- he enjoys experimenting with materials. His drawing practice is equally integral, adding depth to his exploration of surreal and pop-culture-influenced symbolism, often featuring unique characters.
In 2025, Adam has made work as part of the Turps Correspondence Course showing across the UK from London to Wrexham. He has also had his painting "Autism Cat" feature in Cardiff's Bay Art Open, garnering positive attention from curators. Adam has recently exhibited his first themed series of paintings at Elysium art bar in his hometown Swansea.
“I make art about my life- I am indiscriminate about what my art is about. Sometimes I draw to music, sometimes self-observation guides me.”
