Recipient of many accolades including 1st prize winner at Open up North, the Marmite Painting Prize and the Towry Prize, Iain Andrews is widely sought after and highly collectable. Andrews' career continues to blossom - exhibiting at this year’s Venice Biennale: ‘Personal Structures’, Paper Pavillion, Palazzo Mora, Venice Biennale, Venice. The show runs from May 11 - 24 November 2019.

With Monet's Haystacks being one of the most recognisable images in art history, we look to how other artworks and movements in modern art have served as inspiration to our artists, with a selection of works below.
As always, let me know if I can help in anyway.
