Andrew Berks' oil paintings capture his combined interest in contemporary experimentation and technical proficiency. His works range between realistic interpretations of his subjects and bold experiments with colour and texture. Berks does not tend to cite the inspiration behind his pieces; he is typically driven by experimentation and aesthetic appeal, both of which become clearer to him as he develops each work. Considering each painting viewed from up close and from far away, he attempts to develop interest from both perspectives. He works mostly from his own photographs, deviating from them to varying degrees. This striking work featuring a cute and curious cow is entitled Wallaby, which is her name at the farm. (Dimensions 48" x 48")
