Born and raised in Salisbury, England, Andrew Lucas said he was fortunate to have been surrounded by medieval architecture, Salisbury Cathedral, and the surrounding Wiltshire countryside.
“I spent many hours in childhood drawing the unique buildings that were all around,” he says. “My love of the countryside and the river would also feature many times in my drawings. In my teens, I began to paint in watercolor. Over time, I built up my portfolio until I was ready to hold my first solo exhibition in Salisbury, which was also my first public show. The years that followed allowed me to continue to exhibit both solo and collective exhibitions local to South Devon in England. In recent years, I have had the opportunity to hold my first solo international exhibition in Krasnodar which was great to share my work with the international audience. I was also invited to hold a 12-week solo show by Salisbury museum, which after all of these years was great to return to where my artistic story began.
“Watercolor remains my chosen medium. For me, the results achieved far outweigh the difficulties that may occur. With its expressive, bold yet subtle manner, I find that any subject can be captured, and offers its own unique expression. My passion for drawing is also still evident and evolves together with my paintings.
“In my work, I hope to evoke real emotion that allows the audience to see a different side to familiar scenes through my interpretation.”
