After periods of not making his bed and several unproductive shark fishing trips
Brian Andrew eventually realised contemporary art was probably not his
strongest point and bothering cows with a chainsaw and several pots of hair gel
might end in more trouble.
Brian is self taught; to begin with this seemed like a great thing. Ex-art
students would praise him for sticking to his guns until one day he realised
galleries were interested in initials after your name. So Brian applied for a
foundation course at Falmouth College of Art. After driving for two hours in
holiday traffic he arrived late for his interview and got turned down on the basis
that he would be questioning his tutor. So, two fingers were raised to that and
realising his initials were B.A. anyway Brian carried on regardless.
Brian has now been producing ceramic and bronze sculpture for over twenty
five years and has become very collectable. His observations of hares have
come from years spent wandering the countryside with his lurchers, his
observations of humour have come from years spent in pubs, disappearing
times and the roller-coaster of life.
Brian’s work has been displayed and sold from many galleries and sells
worldwide. Even the Queen has bought a piece; not Elton John, the other one...

Notes on postage:
Brian’s work is very fragile. The smaller pieces (dormice, hedgehogs and Kenny Leveret) can be sent through the post
at a cost of £6.50 but the larger pieces have to be sent in wooden crates by special delivery - price £22.50. Some of
the most fragile pieces (E.g. boxing hares and hareobics) must be collected.
