The paintings are nostalgic towards a lost age of youthful innocence and dreams. My work is like a zeitgeist of a close relative one never new or a lost love, perhaps this person was dead long before one was ever born. The work therefore holds a fondness to places that these past lives were lived out in, so close to ones self, yet so far away. They lament on a kind of love and longing to meet ones fore fathers and express a shared inherited passion towards alpine rock and pine trees. |

In my work I try to deal with the concept of disruption between Culture and Nature and the notion of Nature as other. On one hand interested in the relations between the idea of idealisation of Nature and its disruption through scientific knowledge, on the other hand the interpretation of Nature through psychoanalytic symbols.
I use the animal as metaphor, using the idea of reportage to suggest the casual capture of an image. Also inspired by Film Noir and the dark symbols of Fairy Tales, my recent work and images evoke a sense of Otherworldly mystery alluding to the obscure and symbolised aspect of dreams, or the interpretation of traditional fables and fairy tales. |

Andy ‘Seize’ Quammie graduated with a BA Hons in Painting @ Central Saint Martin's in 1996. Born and raised in Hackney, Andy belongs at the cutting edge of the 21st century's Avant Garde movement; his work embodies all the vibrancy and optimism of 1980s Graffiti art, rejuvenated by a constant barrage of fresh and innovative ideas. Feverishly hawked by lifestyle magazines like Vogue and Attitude, who have devloped something of a penchant for decking out their models with his trademark, 80s-style Graffitied denim jackets. Seize is no ordinary St. Martin’s graduate.
Having already achieved cult-like status on the Graffiti scene, Seize finds it impossible to repress his inherently creative spi |

I work with drawing on paper and painting on canvas to explore visual perception and the boundaries between figuration and abstraction. I am currently working on a series of wolf paintings.Among my influences are the Impressionist paintings of Alfred Sisley; the Pointillist paintings of Georges Seurat and Abstract Expressionist ‘lasso’ paintings of Jackson Pollock.The luminosity and mystery imbued in my work references my experiences growing up in Rome, surrounded by a menagerie of animals and transient light. The intrinsic qualities of paint have always been a tactile delight. |
