Andrew Painter

Andrew Painter was born in Wolverhampton in 1957. He studied at Goldsmith's College before setting out to travel the world and develop his own artistic style. After some years teaching, he took up painting full time and for over 20 years has shared his time between England and France where his work has attracted many collectors.

Andrew Painter has in the past exhibited his work in London and the UK through Enid Lawson, now retired. He is now represented by the Linda Blackstone Gallery in the UK and in several galleries all over France. He enjoys showing his work in unexpected venues such as hospitals, and occasionally takes on very large scale commissions, one of which adorned the Galeries Lafayette Department Store in Paris with a "constellation of large striped socks"!

The artist recently exhibited at the Florence Biennale, as well as creating the décor for the Nice Jazz Festival. An artist unlike any other: an original talent with an instantly recognisable style!
