Andrew Burgess

Andrew studied at Falmouth School of Art and has exhibited
extensively across Cornwall before working as an interior decorator
for several years both in Cornwall and London honing techniques
that inform his painting practice.
Residing once again in North Cornwall, Andrew draws inspiration
from the St. Ives School of Artists and the rugged beauty of the
Cornish coastline. His creative processes are fuelled by long walks
and sketching along the coast, where he seeks to capture the ever-
shifting moods of the landscape. His work spans from tranquil
depictions of calm beaches to dramatic portrayals of storms on sea
and land, all seeking to express the diversity of Cornwall’s coastline.
Andrew’s practice incorporates oil paint, acrylic and mixed media. His
modern, enthusiastic style showcases the ruggedness, vibrancy and
ever changing colour palette of Cornwall. These works serve as
visual reminders of the awe-inspiring natural beauty that surrounds
him, encouraging a deeper connection to nature in those that view
his art.
His bold and dramatic approach to painting is designed to evoke
emotion. Andrew states: “I believe that art has the power to awaken
feelings, memories, and a sense of wonder. I hope that my paintings
can offer a moment of escape and contemplation.”
Whether working in his studio or ‘au plein air’, Andrew’s work
reflects the connection between colour, mood, and the changing
seasons within the Cornish landscape.
“Through my artistic journey, I aim to continue exploring the unique
charm and character of Cornwall’s seascapes and landscapes. I
strive to push the boundaries of my creativity while capturing the
very essence of this beautiful corner of the world”.
