Sheffield Museums’ ‘In the Studio’ Film Depicting Andy’s Ideas, Technique and The Painting of ‘Tower’, 2023.

5 Apr

I’m thrilled to be part of Sheffield Museums’ ‘In The Studio’ film series and glad to share some insights and thoughts into my creative process.

Andy stands alongside the painting, ‘Tower’, 2023, which is seen being painted in the film.

‘Tower’, was painted during the difficult years of 2022 and 2023, and holds a special place in my heart. It echoes a personal experience, and possibly a collective one — the resilience that carried us through, with the shadows that danced across our solitude.

As we navigate these unprecedented times, art becomes our companion — a bridge between isolation and understanding. ‘Tower’ stands, inviting you to explore your own emotions within its textured layers.

Join us behind the scenes in his studio and find out how she creates his night-time cityscapes and landscapes of Sheffield. He looks at forms, spaces and places that many may consider mundane or marginal and his paintings become symbols of mystery. They're about observing an uncanny atmosphere of uncertainty within the spaces of daily life.
