Nick Andrews
Nick Andrews is considered one of the most interesting exponents in the contemporary generation of Belgian painters. The world of Andrews is that of pleasure and enjoyment. The inspiration for his paintings comes from traveling, exotic landscapes, desolate hotels, sex clubs, swimming pools and dilapidated amusement parks.
Nick Andrews' paintings are characterised by gestural brushstrokes and a flamboyant color palette, by which complementary colors dominate. As a result, the works are submerged in a euphoric, nostalgic and melancholic atmosphere.
Nick Andrews (London, England 1972-) lives and works in Antwerp, Belgium and Saint-Bonnet Tronçais, France. He studied painting at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp. He participated in important group exhibitions such as Pop Up (2010, NICC Antwerp), Colours & Olympism, (2008, Beijing International Art Biennale, China), Fantasy (2008, HKA, Antwerp, curated by K. Vanden Broek), Welcome Home Little Cavaliers (2007, HKA, Antwerp, curated by J. Pas). Furthermore, he designed Docks & Diamonds — a series of six tapestries that were tufted by Vera Vermeersch — for Rodriguez d'Evorazaal in Elzenveld, Antwerp.
