Professional Profile
Andrew Fitzpatrick studied drawings and Painting at Glasgow School of Art and belongs to that generation of Scottish figurative painters who emerged in the late 1980s. The dramatic effect of light and dark gives extra life to his compelling and highly intense paintings. His work can often be read as a narrative where tension and intrigue are ever present between his characters. His subject matter is of course much more modern, an amalgam of the many experiences facing us today yet always reverting to the age old mysteries of life and relationships.
