Simon Andrews

Born 1968, Sydney Australia. currently living in Gothenburg Sweden

My work is the result of inspiration found in the observation of people, the beauty and truth found in the frailty of our human presence. The painting characteristically uses a strong contrast of light, shade & colour to emphasise the figurative form within a painterly background. This abstract, geometric element suggests an extra dimension to the work in a defined and integrated way. The hues of the squares are made part of the the subject matter, by hinting at "pool water", "fading lawn," "sea wall," etc.
