BIOGRAPHY
AFraction Fine Art
Andrew Farquhar is an abstract painter who maintains a full-time studio and lives in Matua, Tauranga. Andrew Farquhar has painted since 1982. He trained at Massey University / Palmerston North Teachers College under the guidance of Sculptor Paul Dibble and taught practical art until March 2006.
Andrew has exhibited throughout the Bay of Plenty and Waikato, and in Palmerston North.
Over the past decade Andrew has explored five key concepts in his work depth, light, surface, interval and space. He is very interested in the process by which these intellectual concepts translate to the material form of a painting.
The paintings are organically realised but geometrically conceived. The organic gesture is a progression of thought and defines the space, which is embedded within the structure of the painting.
