Imagination comes to life in fairytale images by Leamington artist

WhAT you imagine might just have happened, or what you think is about to happen is just as important as what is actually happening in the artwork of Andrew Christopher.

The Leamington artist is currently holding his second exhibition, Telling Tales, at Gallery 150, in which a strong narrative is an important element to his paintings and drawings.

He said: “Sometimes I have an idea that I just can’t explain at that time because it doesn’t make sense in relation to the work that I am currently making.

“This exhibition is about the journey ideas can take and how, over time, they adopt elements from other ideas slowly metamorphosing into the pictures that I am making today.”

After starting on a graphic novel project with a friend earlier this year, Andrew began working in pen and ink on paper.

He said: “We decided early on that the majority of our story should be told in black and white. Pen and ink seemed the best option.”

His fairytale-themed works can be seen at the gallery in Regent Court Shopping Centre in Livery Court until Sunday July.

Entry is free.
