Neil Adcock
“My design process is fluid and can evolve to something entirely different from my initial idea. The final iteration builds on itself until I am happy with the result”

We Love…
Neil is an artist whos eye for form and texture can make stone come to life and truly sing. The way light flickers through the slabs of beautiful New Zealand stones is exquisite. Neil’s passion to apply himself to his art after decades in the advertising world highlights his innovative approach to materials, form, and composition, we are so lucky that he followed his passion.

Feature
Adcock treats this precious material with care and respect, and his totemic sculptures capture its gravity and consequence.
Neil Adcock came late to his craft, deciding in 2015 to pursue a career in jewellery and sculpture after decades as a creative director in the advertising industry. Drawing upon his initial training at the Wellington School of Design in the 1970s, Adcock taught himself the skills needed to work with stone and metal. He has established an art practice that has seen his works exhibited in London, Milan, and Paris, as well as in contemporary galleries throughout New Zealand.
