​Andy Finlay is a British artist known for textured white oil paintings and his use of cement, gold and light.

"I see myself primarily as a painter, but I don't restrict myself solely to painting.

You'll find a lot of textured white oil paint in my work, often accented with cement powder, gold leaf, metallic mediums, ink and found items. ​Hand making everything from stretcher frames right though to framing wherever possible gives me the flexibility to produce individual pieces that are exactly suited to the subject or project.

Growing up I lived behind the iconic big blue gasometer on the industrial site of Southall Gasworks, where my grandfather and great-grandfather had both worked. It dominated the view from my childhood bedroom window, which might explain why industrial buildings and huge skyscrapers have always held a slightly fearful fascination for me and influences much of my work.

The effect of ripples emanating from actions, interactions, locations, buildings, people and circumstances that inspire me to create. It is my constant source of inspiration and the thread that runs through all of my work." ​
