Andrew Tozer

Andrew Tozer is a contemporary British artist and one of Cornwall's  most collected landscape painters. His work features in exclusive galleries and collections worldwide ​. Known as a 'painter of light', he effortlessly captures moments as they occur.

Andrew studied art at the University of Westminster before moving on to Central St. Martin’s. In London he consolidated his love of plein air painting on the banks of the Thames at Richmond and Kew, and when he moved back to Cornwall in 1998 he had established an impressive reputation with a series of sell out exhibitions.

He captures light, atmosphere, and the very essence of his subject matter in paintings that manage to conjure memories of the past whilst being firmly in the present. His work is celebratory with a dreamlike quality evoking memories of place and time. Andrew chooses simple and joyful subjects which move him; boats at rest in a harbour, a figure in the quiet of the studio or precious family moments.

Andrew, quite simply, loves to paint what he loves, and considers it to be one of life’s great pleasures.

"In a way, I consider myself a diarist; recording the moments and scenes that are important to me and sharing my joy in them with the viewer"
