Andrew Davidson

Andrew Davidson belongs to a long distinguished line of British artists, illustrators and designers, whose work once enriched almost everything that was printed. He keeps alive a tradition which owes nothing to transitory fashions or the latest gadgetry, but which is based on the irreplaceable disciplines of objective drawing, a strong sense of design and the tactile pleasures of craftsmanship. Even as a young student at Norwich School of Art, Andrew's work and those of his contemporaries gained strength from a solid academic base which underpinned innovation and experimentation. It showed a highly developed vision and the emergence of the necessary skills to develop it, as well as the element of magic and poetry which fills his work today
