Andrew Szczech

(b 1963, United Kingdom. Lives and works in St Albans)

Andrew Szczech searches for the sublime in his work. He's a painter who aims to act as a mediator between conscious action and the act of using paint as a medium. Szczech tries to create a clash between seemingly incompatible sources in his work; contrasting traditional and industrial materials. Conceptually; Szczech says his “focus is on the symbiotic relationship between systems and structures and their subjects;” adding that he revisits imagery from previous works to develop recurring motifs across his practice.
