"The paintings are exuberant and celebratory.... quirky and individualistic. Andrew Burgess is a
painter who does adventurous things with ones view of the world."
Kazuo Ishiguro, Modern Painters

"Lucca and Arezzo fit into Burgess's private world so easily that he might have invented them
himself." John Russell Taylor, The Times. London

Cityscapes of London, New York, Boston, San Francisco, Siena, and Perugia, viewed from a
tower, a skyscraper, a bridge - pictures that play with perspective and are devoid of people.
Concentrating mainly on the shapes of buildings, the vertical punctuation of the skyline,
creating a patchwork quilt of colour, Andrew Burgess encourages us to reexamine the way we
view our urban environment. In short, he transforms the everyday into something
monumental - sometimes elegiac, sometimes sinister.
