About Andrew Killick:
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.
