NEW ARTISTS @ ART EQUITY
Andrew McIlroy
Masterful painter Andrew McIlroy produces sophisticated canvasses which
straddle traditional and modernist methodologies. Referencing Australian
Colonialism and the forefathers of the landscape tradition, McIlroy’s
concern with atmosphere, golden light and voluminous skies also pays homage
to the great Joseph Mallord William Turner and forms a bridge with contemporary
figuration.
As McIlroy explains , “I hope to make people pause for just a moment.
My inspiration is simple; to create something tangible, long lasting and
familiar. My struggle is to capture 'Australianess' without reacting against
European influences or composition.”
Andrew's serene seascapes have been tremendously well received by Art
Equity clients, with two thirds of the canvases selling within hours of
hitting the gallery walls. McIlroy is one to watch!
