An award-winning artist, Adam Rote’s style of painting has been honed and mastered for over 40 years from apprenticeships with artists in diverse fields such as portraiture, airbrush, realism and sign-painting well before the digital age.
His subject matter is constantly evolving from the American Ruins, which launched his gallery career in 2004, to his continued re-imagining of his early inspirations featuring wildlife, musical icons, and noir-inspired portraits.
In 2008 Rote caught the eye of some of Hollywood’s stars and their admiration has made him one of the most celebrated and collaborated fine artists in history.
Angie Dickinson called him her “Warhol.” Al Pacino stated, upon signing his Scarface painting, that it was “the best he had ever seen,” states Rote’s website.
Rote has collaborated, painted and co-signed with Academy Award winners Cate Blanchett, Martin Landau, Ernest Borgnine, Clint Eastwood, Al Pacino, Robert De Niro, Richard Dreyfuss, Jane Fonda, Robert Downey Jr., Dame Judi Dench, Susan Sarandon, Goldie Hawn, Michael Douglas, Kim Basinger, Anne Hathaway, Margot Robbie and others.
Rote’s works are available at Key West Gallery, 601 Duval St., from Thursday through Monday, April 4-8.
