Press Release

Inspired by the Japanese practice of momijigari, or the observation of the changing colors of Autumn, Andrew Killick produces close, nuanced studies of leaves in acrylic. His studio is located in the Royal Forest of Dean in Gloucestershire, England, permitting him stunning access to the beauty of nature’s bright, seasonal colors. Killick’s compositions appear as washes of dark but vibrant color that slowly reveal the natural forms hidden among them, and his work bears some distant similarities to that of Georgia O’Keeffe in its intense focus on the details of plant life. Killick’s use of pigment is dense, and his leaves oscillate between movement and life, and stillness and decay. Many have his works appear to be part of a larger series, but Killick insists that although the pieces he “produces share a commonality, each one is individual in its own right.”

His art is a celebration of the beauty of nature and the joy that comes from immersing oneself in quiet and attentive looking. Killick was born in 1969 in Newport, Monmouthshire, England.
