SEPTEMBER - Andy Waite - Memories of Venice: A collection of new sublime paintings from our much loved artist

A new online exhibition of sublime paintings from our much loved painter Andy Waite; an enchanting collection of paintings based on a trip to Venice in May.

"Always a city of great beauty and inspiration; the colours for me are simply stunning and reflect those I am particularly drawn to, with shades of pink, orange, peach and red"

If natural forms are the archetypal structures giving his work its grammar, it is his affinity with colour and the many unspoken, poetic languages and realms it conveys, that is central to the intuitive, expressive compositions. Lively, spontaneous, sometimes paint laden, sometimes dry, with wide brushstrokes, linear gestural motifs and colour balancing, layers are added, scraped, scratched and worked into over several weeks.
Gradually the alchemy of paint, the unconscious and the imagination, on the now textured and multilayered surface, reveals the hitherto unknown and unseen. The resulting work is only considered complete if the painting, whose contours have initially grown out of loved locations, now speaks to the poetry of places that reside in long lost and longed for imaginings.
