Isle Of Wight Art Teacher's Caricature Draws In TV Star Rylan Clark-Neal

An Isle of Wight art teacher has had his caricature of celebrity Rylan Clark-Neal endorsed by the TV star.

Adam Brown, who works at Christ The King College in Newport, has spent his spare time during the lockdown adding to his portfolio of artwork.

Since March of last year, he has created more than 300 caricatures depicting familiar celebrity faces, including stars of stage and screen.

He uploaded his Rylan caricature work to social media site Instagram, which caught the fun-loving presenter’s eye.

The former X Factor star shared a photo of himself holding Adam's work on the set of BBC One's Ready Steady Cook.

Adam said: 

“I was thrilled to receive the photo of Rylan and it was great that he took the time to acknowledge my work. Caricature art is all about amplifying a person’s prominent features.

"Some people may struggle with this but happily, Rylan loved it!”

Further examples of Adam’s work can be found at instagram.com/adam_adamart/.
