About "Thinking About Thinking"
This is a dynamic portrait that aims to depict the inner workings of an 'untamed' and 'unrestricted' human animal's mind. It explodes with the past sensations that he has experienced. These experiences have in turn created working mechanisms that control his preseent reaction to his environment.

About Andy
In traditional Chinese art the painter intentionally leaves a slight flaw in his/her artwork. It is a reminder that we as humans are not perfect.
I have thus far led a charmed hedonistic existence and have had plenty of solitude to reflect on it. My art is therefore closely linked to memory. I engage in the science fiction/fact way in which we remember. As creating the artwork is a task that takes considerable time, so my paintings express this organic process as various sensations unfold. The paintings are thus rarely snapshots of a particular event, but rather an overlaying of events to express a narrative that can only be told in a visual sense on what essentially starts as a two-dimensional surface. No other medium affords such depth of liberty, as the viewer is able to engage with the surface in a way that is more divorced from our physical world than the impositions of sculpture or multi-media mediums. Painting, drawing, printing and collage invite you to leave your body behind and climb through the window into another reality.
The dimensional proportions of this reality can be manipulated by the artist in a way that forms a dialogue with the viewer on this astral plane. This can be a taxing demand on the viewer, but I do not make art for stupid or lazy people, their demands are well catered for by society. Instead I believe intelligence lies in open-mindedness. Humankinds greatest fear is the unknown. We are inescapably bound to its existence and endeavor to create a balanced relationship with it. Getting this balance right is the key to our happiness.
As with life, I do not to conform my memories to one emotion. Sometimes I offer warnings and engage in social issues as humanity disappoints. Sometimes I celebrate humanity when it deserves praise. And sometimes I leave humanity behind altogether and engage in the psychedelic dialogue that we share with nature.
