commissions
at the threshold of old and new
They that go down to the sea in ships;
That do business in great waters;
These see the works of the Lord, and His wonders in the deep.
roger adamson
Roger Adamson is the conscience of the global maritime and shipping industry, holding a mirror up to uncomfortable truths and exploring the tension between transformation and timelessness, trade and nature, liminality, and the threshold between old and new.
A 30 year maritime industry veteran he both founded and led major maritime technology organisations as Chairman and CEO and continues to contribute his expertise on a voluntary basis to a variety of industry charities and associations.
His work has been commissioned by both private collectors and public institutions and he has been exhibited by the Royal Society of Marine Artists, The Society of Graphic Fine Art and is selected for the 2025 VII London Art Biennale.
