ANDREW FIELD

Andrew is a British landscape painter who has lived in the United Arab Emirates but is now living and working in Stratford Upon Avon. He has painted all of his life and he is known for creating powerful and evocative figurative and abstract paintings that are a direct response to the landscape. Working with gestural brush marks he aims to achieve balance, energy and dynamism, to inspire the viewer and remind them of the beauty and power of the natural environment as well as the calming qualities of being surrounded by the elements.
