Andrew Squire

Andrew Squire, a Scottish artist, trained and still practices as an architect. As a painter, he remains deeply engaged with the treatment of space. His work is poised on the boundary between description and abstraction. Working in acrylic and gouache, he builds up fields of intense colour – pink, tangerine, indigo – which resonate against each other, striking up complex relationships of their own. Objects, reduced to their visual essence, flicker between the imagined pictorial space they inhabit and the two-dimensional surface of the panel; this tension is central to his compositions, endowing them with a distinctive energy. His most recent work is inspired by time spent on the coast of Newfoundland.

Andrew graduated from Manchester University School of Architecture.  His work has been successfully shown in Europe and in Scotland, most recently with the Roger Billcliffe Gallery in Glasgow.
