ANDREW SUTHERLAND Hunter Valley, contemporary figurative artist.
Sutherland’s paintings express his love of fantasy, cinema and still photos, all influences in his work. ‘I have been working on paintings with figurative subject matter. I am exploring the depiction of the human form and the contrasts between an academic approach and an expressive one. Thematically I am
interested in the human condition. I see my figures as characters and try to put them into environments that give them a context or story that the viewer can elaborate on in their own mind.’ - The exhibition FIGURATION REDUX @ ASW 2019
