Andrew Cranston - Never a Joiner
Andrew Cranston (b.1969, Hawick, Scotland; lives and works in Glasgow) is a painter-storyteller, a way of working that is enhanced by his often painting on the linen-bound covers of old books. He once described a work as "a painting that came out of my brush one day", a statement that sums up his approach. His stories coalesce in the process of making--the paintings emerging gradually through the manipulation of his materials: layering, lacquering, bleaching, collaging, and constantly re-working his way into images that seem to shift backwards and forwards in time.
These are narrative paintings, drawn from the artist's memory and observations of life and liberally sprinkled with references to cinema, They are resolutely contemporary in spirit and yet connected by a strong thread to painters of the past, especially perhaps to the intimism of Vuillard and Bonnard, or to Matisse or Munch.
