Andrew Pearson

Painter
Melbourne.  Australia.


Biography

Since leaving Art School in the mid 80's, Andrew has maintained interest in a varied art practice including music, writing, photography and the making of short films.

Mixed media and painting on canvas has become Andrews' main focus.The resulting work is compelling, luxurious, often decadent. From the clarity of clean lines and rich color to the rough immediacy of wall art/graffiti, finely textured brushwork and considered abstraction.  Andrew's work is represented in private collections in Australia, New Zealand, Asia, Europe and The United States and has been obtained by noteworthy actors, musicians and even politicians. Andrew has also produced a number of commissioned works for private clients.

Andrew maintains a significant thematic eclecticism. Luxuriously decorative and moody floral images, explorations of still life and interiors (represented here), bold text based pieces, abstracted city-scapes, post pop portraiture and deconstructions of contemporary culture, all represented in an increasingly extensive body of work.
 

Artist Statement - Still Life

I believe, that a Still Life is born, like everything else, out of chaos.A Still Life is a focal point.A respite.Transient stillness captured for however long the canvas and the paint last. The chaos that surrounds, is suggested in many Still lifes.A certain animated quality possessed by some. The suggestion of fragility and decay, of energy and vibrancy.Objects suspended on or near the cusp separating creation and destruction.

Still Life is a curious thing. It both defies, and affirms a sense of 'being'.

Still Life is strange, and often asks more questions than it answers.
