My name is Andrew Newton and have been painting 9 years, and graduated in 2008 with a 1st class(hons) degree in Fine Art.
At the base of my work I deal with realism but a lot of the concepts of my practice deal with the deeper voyeurs perspective and the way the mind swallows up the mundanity of the everyday world.
I work with human faces and form for my subject matter. I paint section by section of the image using a grid method. This gives an overall detailed projection the subject, giving the audience the ability to scan my work as if it was a found object, as with no focal point. I want to force my audience to analyze with scutiny and push their obedience towards the image all over the full canvas's cropped surface area.
The abstract marks in my work represent the minds fluctuation from concentration in any given moment. The canvas acting like a cropped window like a stage on the world, and its subject being the performer. The abstract forms also display the minds intuition to feel the actual act aswell as the hyper-realist element which is a detailed conformity towards the subject, no matter how banal.
The mundanity of my work is important as it has to show the everyday and random expression, theme, moods and subtleties of the changing world.
The aesthetic of my paintings is the demonstrate the minds eye of fleeting imagery on the spontaniety of moment. The crop, the awkward expression and the surface design is to expose an ultra truthful interpretation of life combining the illustrative and intuative art marks to produce one decisive visulization.

Love your work. Awesome abstractions combined with some damn good realism. It says so much more to me than normal realism... human eyes are not meant to see like cameras. Maybe I'll go to art school so I can practice technique to such a degree. Bravo sir!
Man you're making such a magnificent work... I'm just sitting there and drooling at my desk. Thank you for sharing those splendid pieces. You remind me of Gerhard Richter but you have that personal something which makes you extraordinary, and that is good!
Thanks you Eric, I really enjoy reading you're reviews of my practice Btw you can add me here on Facebook [link]
Please feel free to come along to my group show exhibition from May 1st - 13th. Private view May 1st 6-8pm! The details are on my Facebook page and my website front page. www.andrewnewtonart.co.uk
I'm really impressed with your painting, from your photo realism to your new more experimental pieces. I've featured one of your hugely under-appreciated photo-realist paintings – the self portrait – here: [link]
I also hope to include lots of your works in my "contemporary fine art" group in coming months: [link]
