Andrew Wilkey

My work is an inner narration of what I love here in West Penwith. It is a poetic response to what I see, feel and hear walking in the landscape and looking at skyscapes and seascapes. I paint at home and in remembering I imagine, focus and play with the paint to capture the emotions I feel and the stories of shape and colour.

My paintings could be described as symbolic expressionism. I make shapes or characters in a space which conjure mood and memory and recreate aspects of places and moments.

I studied foundation level Art at Bath Academy of Art and received a BA (hons) in Fine Art (Painting and Photography) from Maidstone College of Art.
