New works by veteran Bristol street and fine artist Andrew Burns Colwill.
As well as his characteristic soak stain paintings Andrew is also including some small sculptures featuring gold false teeth and sunglasses. One of the new paintings is called Charlie’s Square Mile.
“The work in this show explores the ‘falseties’ in society – some we need like gold teeth and some we don’t like substance abuse.”
Sunglasses have been a theme in Andrew’s work for some time: “For me they represent the way society is refusing to see the realities around us whether that be political, environmental or sociological.”
On the direction of his latest works, Andrew explains: “My work is taking a different, more surreal turn in this exhibition. It is how I see the world.”
