About

Andy Jouan
Having grown up on the island of Jersey and very much being part of the beach and music culture on the island, my love of nature has influenced me as I look to express our connection with the "whole" as I use abstract art and music to encourage the viewer/listener to meet “The Observer” rather than distract them with a specific focus within the work itself.
I moved to London in 2009 and in 2013
I attended classes held by artist Nick Malone in his studio https://www.londonartclasses.com/
where I soon found a hidden talent to express myself through my art, he encouraged me to study the likes of Bacon, Dali and Kandinsky as well as Turner but hope I am very much expressing my own style in my work.
Working mostly now with Acrylic on Canvas I enjoy connecting directly with the art where ever possible by painting with my hands, the connection of self with the paint and canvas I feel brings out the depth of work I am trying to express, of course brushes, sponges and cloths all come into creating a piece too.
