biography
Iain Andrews' paintings begin as a dialogue, both with a particular Folk Tale and also with an image from art history – often a painting by an Old Master that may then be used as a starting point from which to playfully but reverently deviate. Making paintings is the way he makes sense of the narratives and stories that he encounters during his work as an Art Psychotherapist with teenagers, many of whom have tales of neglect and abuse.
