Andrew Scanlan 
United Kingdom

Although born in the UK, he have lived and worked in Arabia for the last 25 years. The United Arab Emirates, has immersed my senses in a diverse melting pot of cultures, traditions and colour. It has also proved the perfect hub to discover the Far East, India and the rest of Arabia. Andrew embrace these experiences and drink in the sounds, smells, colours and people he had come across. His art was fuelled by amazing characters, countless faces and the vast pallet of colour the world delivers to me on his travels. 'I like to play around with the idea that there is an order within chaos!. I have always been fascinated by the way the brains perceive the world around us. Everything we see is represented by countless microscopic cells of colour. The closer we view these cells the more random they appear. Then when we pull away the brain stitches these cells together to generate an image. It is this phenomenon that I use to create my paintings.", says Andrew.
