Andy Newman

About the Artist

"… his view is unique and well executed.   The voice of these 
paintings is clear and sound.   They are all … concerned with 
the potential for human habitation."
Allen Baldwin, Casco Bay Weekly

Andy Newman has been painting for almost 20 years.  
He is self-taught, and his painting career follows his first 
career as an attorney in Washington, D.C.  He exhibits his
work in galleries in England, France, Italy, Portugal,and 
Canada, as well as throughout the northeastern U.S.


Artist's Statement

As my career as a painter has developed, I have worked in 
three genres, figures, abstract, and landscape, and it is  
landscape that provides the focus of this exhibition.

Many of my landscapes are anchored by architectural subjects, 
which allow me to center my interest on form, light and compo-
sition, with less stress upon the particulars of a given locality.   
Thus it is with architecture that I can feel most abstract.  What 
drives the image is the array of shapes and how they occupy 
the picture plane, rather than whether a building or road hap-
pens to be in France, Spain or England.  Since architectural 
subject matter lends itself to the composing of forms within 
a space, I have over the years returned again and again to the 
same buildings to produce closely related images.
