The Luxembourg Gallery in Paris is exhibiting the artwork of Andrew Simpkin from 15-31 January 2022. The collection is called Paysages Urbains – Urban Landscapes.
Andrew Simpkin (1967-) is a British-French artist who lives and works between Paris and The Vexin in the north of France.
The series includes drawings, mainly from 2017-2021, of the Parks of Paris – from the Luxembourg Garden to the Monceau Park – to the skyline of La Defense neighbourhood of the 15th arrondissement of Paris.
Andrew Simpkin primarily works with paper and cardboard, giving a matte finish to his oil paintings. Influenced by the abstract works of 20th century cubists Jacques Villon and Francois Kupka, Simpkin ‘freezes’ his deconstructed visions as if through the prism of a kaleidoscope. The uninhabited Parisian landscapes, with their filtered colours, are dreamy and far from the noises of the city.
