The Paintings of Andrew Salgado

Canadian artist Andrew Salgado focuses his tactile paintings on themes of identity, sexuality and human nature, exhibiting them worldwide from Africa to New York. In Salgado's words, "my paintings present a perspective of a brutalized male body in heightened, melodramatic states. I am interested in depicting banal subjects as elevated and allegorical'.

Banal should certainly not be a term placed anywhere near these works- they appear to breathe with life through each swirl of every brush stroke. Next year, Salgado is set to exhibit at 10 Vyner Street Gallery, London, I will certainly be there.

  2. Obviously, the audience should trust to the speech to get persuaded. Otherwise, it will be very difficult to persuade the audience, if people have some doubts concerning the speech. get essay writings
