Two Paintings by Adam Shea Lancaster
Adam Shea Lancaster is an artist from Dallas, Texas. He creates representational paintings in a style he’s called “Neo-Romanti-Classical”—a contemporary take on draped figures in traditional poses. His themes explore Western culture’s mythical beauty, asking the important question: Is beauty mythical in the sense that myth is an “untrue story” or a “storied truth.” Lancaster prides himself on creating fine art with humble craft paint from hobby shops on drop cloths from hardware stores. He’s made it his mission to present painting as accessible to everyone—beginning with the art students he teaches when not in his studio.
