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, Salford and the UK    

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.   

My short stories and videos add “the meat on the bones, of the paintings”  and highlights the good, the bad, and the ugly just like me — ha ha ha!”

I hope you enjoy exploring my work and invite you to share your thoughts, feel free to contact me

Motto: BEE Positive. 🐝

Salford's Ceremonial Mayors charity Ball, £350 for the painting, & £17000 for the calendar was raised for St Annes hospice & the Royal naval association

Amy Brunn, exhibition manager for Salford Museum and Art Gallery, said:

 "Andrew's art is striking, bold, and makes a massive impact in the gallery. His story telling and poetry is a real social commentary on Salford and Manchester and brings the paintings to life. The way he uses the paint in layers, dragging it, produces architectural details and creates characters in his own unique style. This is why we wanted to represent Andy as our inaugral solo artist in our new community exhibition space, The Park Gallery."

I have been approached by Dylan Miller - writer who is a part of the team organising  The  Sale Poetry Trail  -

 Hi Andrew,  It was lovely meeting you the other week. Your artwork is very impressive - it feels very Lowry-esque and I love that!   Your poetry is also very good. Have you seen that I am part of a team running a Poetry Trail in Sale in June? It'd be amazing to have one of your poems on display if you'd like to enter.  Dylan
