Andrew Macara NEAC

Statement

Andrew Macara studied contemporary British modern art for a brief period under Leonard Fuller at the St Ives School of Painting, among the Cornwall Art Galleries. However, he considers himself predominantly a self-taught artist. In 1984, he was elected to the New English Art Club, and today he is regarded as one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary British art. Recognized for his highly collectible works, his paintings have consistently proven to be a sound investment in British art.

Macara travels extensively, gathering inspiration and imagery for his paintings from around the world. Despite this, his native Derbyshire remains a constant muse, particularly in his celebrated winter scenes. Another area of strong demand for his work are his British seaside paintings. Recently, Macara has explored a new subject matter: reflections, which has led him to experiment with a more abstracted style of painting.
