​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.

​

How actions, words, a location, building or even an object can continue to influence and shape us and others over time is facinating to me. It's the way a simple act of kindness or a piece of knowledge passed on can be remembered and stay with us for years. The effect a building can have on thousands of people across decades or a piece of furniture that carries a lifetime of memories with it. This is my constant source of inspiration and the thread that runs through all of my work."
