ANDREW WADDINGTON has his own very particular vision of the world which he interprets in complex paintings of many layers. Birds or animals are often chosen as a focal point in the picture. Floating elements around the stillness of this archetypal image have resonance with music and poetry, with his love of nature and architecture ~ in fact, everything which makes life fulfilling for him is expressed as moments in his work.
The gentle landscape around his home in North East Cornwall with its sheep, hares and songbirds plays upon Andrew’s imagination as he composes his paintings and drawings through initial sketchbook studies. Snatches of Italian countryside creep into his work too. This very different terrain emerges through his memories of renovating a cottage in the hills of Abruzzo. Andrew has recently had a solo show at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park.
