The British artist Michael Andrews is linked with the 'School of London' artists (Bacon, Freud, Kossoff, Auerbach and Kitaj), although he lived for many years in the Norfolk countryside. A slow, fastidious painter, he is well known for painting ambitious figure compositions. Andrews first visited Scotland in 1975 and returned regularly thereafter, making a series of paintings on the theme of deerstalking. In the mid-1980s his work took a change of direction, and he produced a series of large landscapes featuring Ayers Rock in Australia.
