Keith Andrew was born 1947 in London and studied at Beckenham School of Art and Ravensbourne College of Art and Design. He worked in London as a graphic artist before turning to painting full time in 1975 when he moved to Anglesey. The late Sir Kyffin Williams was a great admirer of Keith’s work and wrote as follows: ‘Keith Andrew, born and trained in London, found in Anglesey an island that appealed to his contemplative nature and provided him with the subject matter that reflects it. He senses its antiquity and its intimacy, and has the intelligence to allow it to dictate the creation of his pictures and never imposes himself upon it. Keith Andrew is moved by the little things; by the narrow stream, by the broken window, the grouting of an ancient roof or by the lichen on an island wall. His searching eye selects what most people do not notice, but once he has made them aware they appreciate all the more what they have failed to see, and buy his pictures. The island, with its mysterious heartland is not his only source of inspiration. From his home he can see the distant mountains and is often working amongst them. Quiet, energetic, and determined, Keith Andrew is now very much a man locally regarded as an important cultural figure and we, who were born on the island, are grateful to him, and hope he will stay with us, recording a Wales that is in constant danger from the seemingly inexhaustible desire of man to scar, pollute and desecrate our inheritance. Keith Andrew records our past and our present and in doing so warns us through apathy it might all be lost.’ Keith has exhibited at Oriel Tegfryn Gallery for many years and has also shown in London and mainland Europe, building a large and loyal group of collectors. He became a member of the Royal Cambrian Academy in 1981. This latest solo show will include both new works and selected works from Keith’s own collection, with which he has previously been reluctant to part. The work, as always, features the pastoral and familiar landscapes of Anglesey and Wales.
Ganwyd Keith Andrew yn Llundain ym 1947 ac astudiodd yn Ysgol Gelf Beckenham a Coleg Celf a Dylunio Ravensbourne. Bu’n gweithio yn Llundain fel arlunydd graffeg cyn troi at beintio llawn amser yn 1975, pan symudodd i Ynys Môn. Roedd y diweddar Syr Kyffin Williams yn edmygwr mawr o waith Keith ac ysgrifennodd : Keith Andrew, wedi ei eni a’i hyfforddi yn Llundain, a geir ar Ynys Môn yn ynys oedd yn apelio at ei natur myfyriol ac ar yr amod iddo pwnc sy’n adlewyrchu hynny. Mae’n synhwyro ei hynafiaeth a’i agosatrwydd, ac mae ganddo y cudd-wybodaeth i alluogi creu ei luniau ond byth yn rhoi ei hun arno. ‘Mae Keith Andrew yn cael ei ddylanwadu gan y pethau syml; y nant gul, y ffenestr wedi’i thorri, y growt o dô hynafol neu gan y cen ar wal ar yr ynys. Mae ei lygad treiddgar yn dewis yr hyn nad yw y rhan fwyaf o bobl yn sylwi, ond unwaith y mae wedi eu gwneud yn ymwybodol, maent yn gwerthfawrogi’r hyn nad oeddent yn eu gweld, ac yn prynu ei luniau. Nid yr unig ffynhonnell o ysbrydoliaeth yw’r ynys llawn dirgelwch; o’i gartref y mae’n gallu gweld y mynyddoedd yn y pellter ac yn aml y mae’n gweithio yn eu plith. Yn dawel, llawn egni ac yn benderfynol, mae Keith Andrew bellach yn cael ei ystyried yn lleol fel ffigwr diwylliannol pwysig ac rydym ni, a aned ar yr ynys yn ddiolchgar iddo ac yn gobeithio y bydd yn aros gyda ni, yn cofnodi Cymru, sydd mewn perygl parhaus o awydd dynol i lygru a halogi ein hetifeddiaeth. Mae Keith Andrew yn cofnodi ein gorffennol ac ein presennol ac wrth wneud hynny, y mae’n ein rhybuddio drwy ein difaterwch y gallai’r cyfan gael ei golli.’ Mae Keith wedi arddangos yn Oriel Tegfryn ers nifer o flynyddoedd ac mae hefyd wedi ardddangos yn Llundain a thir mawr Ewrop, gan adeiladu grŵp mawr o gasglwyr ffyddlon. Daeth yn aelod o’r Academi Frenhinol Gymreig yn 1981. Bydd y sioe unigol diweddaraf yn cynnwys peintiadau newydd, yn o gystal a gwaith a ddewiswyd o gasgliad Keith, gwaith y mae wedi bod yn amharod i wahanu â o’r blaen. Mae’r gwaith, fel arfer, yn cynnwys tirweddau bugeiliol a chyfarwydd o Ynys Môn a Chymru.
