Overview
About Andy’s Work
Andy creates night-time cityscapes and landscapes of Sheffield. He looks at forms, spaces and places that many may consider mundane or marginal and his paintings become symbols of mystery. They're about observing an uncanny atmosphere of uncertainty within the spaces of daily life.
