Andrew Cheetham - Artist

Having focused on former centres of Industry, depicting the grandeur and dramatic beauty in the physical remains of our Industrial heritage, Andrew began documenting the declining Fishing Industry, working from an empty baiting shed on the harbour’s West Pier.
Throughout this time the sea has been constant in his work. Constantly changing, constantly inspiring.
His recent graphite drawings of the North East are combined with a painterly oil mixture, creating specific images of place whilst allowing room for the imagination. Andrew has continued this exploration of suggestion of place, combining oil paint with a cold wax medium.
