About Andrew James RP NEAC

Profile

Artist details

Artist's Statement

Everything around us is relevant for study. Inspiration and beauty resides in seeing things anew.

No concessions should be made for good taste.

Method of Working

I primarily use brushes and knives to apply oils on canvas. I usually paint isolated objects: a tree, a paperclip, a face. This heightens the sense of our connection and isolation with the world around us.

I continuously add and subtract until a satisfactory outcome is achieved in my painting. A conclusion is often achieved after a period of time away from the work. I usually work on two or three paintings at any time.

I work from photographs, life and memory: All are equal. A work’s outcome is all that matters. My artwork can take from one hour through to many weeks, some remain unfinished.
