Adam Clague | Impressionist painter of the figure

Adam Clague studied at Pensacola Christian College, where he received instruction from master artist Brian Jekel and earned a Master of Fine Arts degree. Adam now lives near Kansas City, Missouri and enjoys the adventure of pursuing art with his wife and fellow painter, Andrea Orr Clague.

Adam is a member of the Oil Painters of America and the Missouri Valley Impressionist Society. In 2013, the artist had a feature article in Artists On Art Magazine and was honored to receive the Portrait Award of Excellence in the OPA National Exhibition. Adam’s work has been displayed in various venues and is represented by Hudson Fine Art in Ohio and Augusta Wood in Missouri.

Adam is grateful for the opportunity to paint the beauty of God’s creation. He hopes to share that beauty with others and seeks to glorify the Lord through his work and life.

Adam Clague’s oil paintings have received international awards and press. The artist lives near Kansas City, Missouri with his wife and fellow artist Andrea Orr Clague and their newborn son, Gideon. Adam paints in an impressionistic manner and works from life as much as possible to produce the most life-like results.

The artist seeks to faithfully capture the beauty of God’s creation and to share that beauty with his viewers.

Comic-book superheroes comprised the bulk of Adam Clague’s portfolio until age twelve, when he tested his skills at realistically rendering a grouping of soda cans. This work, entitled "Pop Art", gained Adam his first art award, a "Best of Show" at the Michigan State Fair.

Since then, the challenge of accurately capturing visual reality has fueled Adam’s passion for art. The artist received his training at Pensacola Christian College, where he earned a Masters degree in Fine Arts.

While pursuing his degree, Adam taught drawing and painting classes at the college. His own instruction came from master painter Brian Jekel, who gave expert teaching on the skills of representational painting.

I dipinti ad olio di Adam Clague hanno ricevuto premi internazionali. L'artista vive vicino a Kansas City, nel Missouri, con la moglie e collega artista Andrea Orr Clague e il figlio appena nato, Gideon.

Adam dipinge in stile impressionistico e lavora dal vero il più possibile per produrre i risultati più realistici. L'artista cerca di catturare fedelmente la bellezza della creazione di Dio e di condividere quella bellezza con i suoi spettatori. I supereroi dei fumetti hanno costituito la maggior parte del portfolio di Adam Clague fino all'età di dodici anni, quando ha messo alla prova le sue abilità nel rendere realisticamente un gruppo di lattine di soda. Questo lavoro, intitolato "Pop Art", ha fatto guadagnare ad Adam il suo primo premio artistico, un "Best of Show" alla Michigan State Fair. Da allora, la sfida di catturare con precisione la realtà visiva ha alimentato la passione di Adam per l'arte.

L'artista ha ricevuto la sua formazione al Pensacola Christian College, dove ha conseguito un Master in Belle Arti.

Mentre studiava, Adam ha insegnato disegno e pittura al college. La sua stessa istruzione è venuta dal maestro pittore Brian Jekel, che ha dato un insegnamento esperto sulle abilità della pittura figurativa.
