Description

Description: I give my paintings numbers because I would rather that the viewer is not influenced by a name. I want the viewer to discover something in the painting that is entirely new and personal to them. Something that they recognise as in a memory and yet they have never seen. 

I painted this piece over a number of months while listening to quartets by Schubert and Beethovan. The colours were applied and often removed by scraping or over painting. Over the many months of working it is impossible to know which parts of the painting were influenced by particular pieces of music, though Schubert’s Trout was listened to very often. 

The paper on which I work is an Italian paper: 300gm Fabriano Artistico. It is acid free and will not yellow or discolour with age. The oil paint is made by the best colour man in the UK, Michael Harding.

Andrew Aarons

Andrew Aarons is a painter and printmaker. His preferred media are oil paint on canvas or paper and mezzotint prints. He graduated from Camberwell School of Art after having been a full time student from the early age of thirteen. From then he taught art and worked as an artist full time; something he wanted to do from the age of three.

Andrew’s studio is in South West London where he makes his art most days of the week. He is delighted to have visitors but prefers that you telephone or email to be sure that he will be there to welcome you.

Over more than 60 years of making art Andrew has concentrated for lengthy periods on the figure and portraiture, the urban and rural landscape, music, sport, war, memory and the human condition. You can discover the vast range of his work by visiting his website: https://andrewaaronsart.com

For the last few years he has chosen to explore the non-objective (abstract) world. He is discovering something that is beyond the every day. His paintings are a world of images that, while they are familiar and seem to lurk in the memory they have never actually existed anywhere except in the painting. They exist only on the canvas or the paper and in the memory. He invites you to spend time with the paintings and to talk to him about your response.

Andrew is making new paintings for his next exhibition. It will be in 2026 at the J/M Gallery on Portobello Road, London. That is where he held a recent, and very successful solo exhibition.

The paintings he’s including here are oil on paper. The paper is 300gms, acid free, Fabriano Artistico. It will not yellow. The best colour man in England, Michael Harding, makes the oil paint that Andrew uses.
