Latest News Update
Your Mission, should you choose to accept it! , in the words of mission impossible !!!
Can you take up the challenge of writing an art critique
This is a challenge to any professional art or poetry critics out there who can take up the gauntlet of doing a free professional review and critique on any of my cityscape paintings and short stories/ poems. Whether positive or negative.
The reason!!!!!
I went onto Chat GPT (AI) and asked it to write a review and critique on my artwork and short stories/poems. I was amazed that within seconds it wrote a professionally looking critique on my artwork.
This is a call to arms for all those professional art critics out there who feel that their jobs are under threat with this new technology.
Is anybody out there up for the challenge, if so contact me
Here is the page link to the CHAT GPT inspiration page where you can find further details, also reviews throughout my website https://andrewalanmatthews.co.uk/chat-gpt-inspirations

About me
Andrew Alan Matthews Artist
Andy grew up in Moss Side Manchester in the 1970's and 1980's and has always been interested in Art from a very early age and has produced his Moss Side nostalgia collection which was sold to a private collector. He has good and bad memories of Moss Side and has made life long friends here. Manchester is in his heart and soul and he is a proud Mancunian.
Andy a Manchester based artist, was also employed in the textile design industry reproducing accurate, fine quality, hand painted artwork for many years. He reproduced artwork for all the leading textile companies in the UK. He then undertook a B.A.Hons Textile Degree at Manchester Metropolitan University graduating in 1999. His First Solo exhibition was at Salford Museum and Artgallery in 2023 to 2024 he was the inaugural and resident artist
He is currently Exhibiting his Manchester and Salford Cityscapes at Stanley Square in Sale next to Specsavers and in the newly created walkway called the Corridor Gallery in Sale. He is the Resident Artist in Stanley Square Sale Town Centre
He has produced many design pieces inspired by flora and fauna throughout his career and has widened his knowledge in other areas. His subject matter is varied and he has produced watercolours, gouache, acrylic and mixed media artworks over many years which have shown his virtuosity in differing styles.
He has produced children’s illustrated books which have been inspired by his daughter’s love of reading and was determined to produce them for her education and enjoyment.
Andy has produced commissioned artworks of still life, landscapes, portraits and has sold artwork to companies and private collectors.
Andy has put emphasis on the use of dark and light in his city scapes giving a modern urban feel and depth to the artwork. Andy has developed his own unique style of painting inspired by L.S Lowry's characters using loose free flowing brush strokes and palette knife and ink allowing the characters in the paintings to evolve from the paint.
Andy has recently completed his cities of the world collection, Salford Quays and Manchester by night collection all depicting skylines at night.
Andy will be continuing with his cityscape collections concentrating on vibrant Manchester, Salford and London scenes, he will also explore and produce Expressionistic/ impressionistic, themes with the main focus on linear marks, balance and colour
Andy is currently revisiting his Moss Side Nostalgia collection and with the aim of displaying them in the Whitworth Artgallery, watch this space for future updates
I produce art and video stories of people, places and social issues and try to bring positivity to people through my art. My videos put the meat on the bones of the paintings and highlights - The Good, The Bad And the Ugly.
Who I am, Business mission statement and philosophy.
Andrew Alan Matthews is a proud Mancunian Artist producing affordable original artworks of Manchester, Salford, London and beyond. My brand promotes positivity focusing on Manchester and the UK through my Art. My philosophy, Brand and aim in life is to overcome negativity wherever that may be turning negatives to positives. This is based on my own personal experience of stress in life and how I have learnt to overcome this. By producing and selling my Artwork in the form of my products I have achieved this.
Motto - BEE positive,
Andrew Alan Matthews Artistic Statement.
Michelangelo and all the great masters have strived to achieve perfection, this is an unachievable goal. My art is not perfection, there is beauty in imperfection. with a slip of a brush, palette knife and ink can lead to a happy artistic outcome.
My artwork is heavily inspired by artist L.S. Lowry and I often create characters, through inking, which evolves from the paint thus bringing them to life.
L.S Lowry chose to paint in his style and way, I choose to paint in my style and my way.
I have evolved my art today to be expressionistic/impressionistic and free flowing which for me is a relaxing way to paint whilst helping with my stress

A gift from my good friend Anthony Agar, I am a broken crayon, but I still colour
What does even Broken Crayons Still Color mean?
resilience It's the power to endure, adapt, and ultimately thrive in the face of challenges. The notion that "Broken Crayons Still Color" encapsulates this spirit of resilience, reminding us that even when we're bruised and battered by life's trials, we possess the capacity to continue making a positive impact.
