Andrew Lucas: The Timeless City - Salisbury Through Watercolour

About

Andrew Lucas was born and grew up in Salisbury where he developed a love for Wiltshire's rural and urban spaces, and where he was inspired to start drawing and painting the countryside and the medieval architecture that surrounded him.

He has worked in many different mediums, but his real passion is for watercolour which he finds challenging and sometimes unforgiving but ultimately evocative and expressive.

Andrew held his first solo exhibition The Inspirational World in The Portico Gallery, Salisbury, in 2003. Since then, he has contributed to many other shows and in 2019 held his first international solo exhibition in the City of Krasnodar, Russia, by invitation of the City's Mayor.

He now lives and works in Torquay, Devon, but this exhibition at The Salisbury Museum will be an opportunity to revisit some of his paintings alongside new work produced specifically for the exhibition, celebrating Salisbury's unique character.
