‘Barfod Cattle’
Andrew Barrowman PS has an exhibition at the RBSA Gallery Birmingham 15th September – 17th October.
It is called ‘My Warwickshire’ and will display 20 recent plein air oil paintings.
Andrew states ‘The landscapes are all meaningful to me as it is where I was born and grew up. They depict places where I rode my bike, went fishing and walked the dogs with my mum and sister’.
Andrew Barrowman ARBSA PS – ‘My Warwickshire’
Cornwall-based landscape artist Andrew Barrowman primarily works en plein air, often
exploring ‘off the beaten track’ in his daily sketching routine, seeking out alternative
views of familiar places. While his studio is based at Krowji in Redruth, ‘My
Warwickshire’ represents an evocative return to the landscapes of his youth.
This exhibition brings together twenty oil paintings produced directly on location along
the rivers Avon and Dene, the Stratford canal, and local country lanes. Working in oil en
plein air, Andrew embraces the challenge of the changing elements, translating
immediate atmospheric shifts into painterly brushwork and rich texture. Synthesising
years of preparatory outdoor sketches with live observation, these pieces capture
fleeting moments in time. The collection stands as a testament to the technical
challenges of working from life, mapping the physical and nostalgic routes that connect
the artist back to his roots.
Andrew is a full member of The Pastel Society in London and an Associate member of
the RBSA. He was awarded ‘The Artist Magazine’ prize at the 2024 Pastel Society
exhibition and the Bowyer Drawing Prize at the 2021 NEAC exhibition.
