Concept

I am an artist and image maker who creates unique, rich, multi layered, photo based, digital, montages.

I am an artist and image maker who creates unique, rich, multi layered, photo based, digital, montages. I consider my original, raw images more as “photo sketch books” to be manipulated, layered, combined and decimated in post production rather than finished works. Although I use a wide range of state of the art, digital technology in my creative work, I strive to capture and embrace mistakes to achieve more of a hand made, grungy, dirty, aesthetic in my finished images. The raw emotions and feelings within a body of work are more important to me than “reality”. My artistic practice is influenced by a wide range of creative styles including the neo-expressionism of rockstar artist Jean-Michel Basquiat, the grunge typography of surfer/graphic designer David Carson, the abstract, iconic photography of 4AD album cover designer Vaughan Oliver, the existential photographic psychodramas of Roger Ballan, the European pop art of Sigmar Polke, the brightly coloured graphic-style photo-based artworks of Gilbert & George and even the bold, saturated, kinetic cinematography of Chris Doyle and Wong Kar-Wei.

The ultimate aim of my art is to inspire an emotional reaction and hopefully make people feel who is behind the camera.

JW Andrew is an artist best known for his unique, rich, multi layered, photo based digital montages, He uses various state of the art digital techniques to convey raw emotions and feelings in a hand made, grungy, dirty aesthetic. His influences are wide ranging and include various artists and designers such as Jean-Michel Basquiat, David Carson, Vaughan Oliver, Roger Ballan, Gilbert & George, Rosalie Gascoigne and Wong Kar-Wei.
After studying Textile Design in Scotland and London (Central St. Martins) and moving to Italy, his unique style developed over many years of experimentation using both traditional and digital techniques. His style could best be defined as an acceptance of “mistakes”, elements such as scratches, dust, blur, movement etc are embraced. His main themes could be summed up in the phrase “The future is not like is used to be!” - disruption of society and the "smart" workplace, automation, AI robots, blurring of national borders and family identity. It's not easy being a digital citizen of the world,!!
Dystopian nightmare or Utopian dream!!
An overnight success, which has taken decades to achieve, JW Andrew looks forward to continuing his artistic journey with lots of challenging, emotionally packed, grungy images in the “new normal” future!
