Dale Adcock

Adcock's oil paintings are monumental and precisely constructed, referencing both ancient civilisations and the canon of art history. 

"Tomb is a signpost at a cross-religious crossroads, a Christian symbol-cum-totem pole; aside from the entropically degrading figures it is adorned with various markings referencing Mayans, Aztecs, Egyptians, Greeks, Romans and at the bottom Moby Dick's sperm whale." TJ BOULTING

Dale Adcock's monumental, symbolic structures give no hint of a brushstroke. They are clearly man-made and the result of hours of dedicated, and yet invisible, handwork.

Exhibited at Griffin Gallery in Perfectionism in July-August 2014.
