Andrew McGeachy

Born in Glasgow in 1962, early passions for cars and drawing were combined when Andrew became an automotive designer, learning the disciplines at Coventry Polytechnic and the Royal College of Art.

Beginning his career with Volkswagen in 1986 where he was involved in various exterior and interior design projects, he later joined the teaching staff of Art Center Europe, the Swiss annex of the famous Pasadena school to give design and drawing classes.

During this time, he developed his impressionistic, dynamic painting, breaking away from a previous tighter, illustrative style. Volumes or details are now indicated with natural spontaneity, avoiding overworked lifelessness. Relatively large canvases are coated with acrylic paint in a celebration of vibrant colour capturing motion and emotion. Experiments include mixed media bas-reliefs, a “two-and-a-half” dimensional marriage of painting and sculpture.

Historical subjects have always figured strongly, especially 1930s Grand Prix cars and 1950s endurance racers with their functional but evocative forms. Paintings are completed for pleasure and as private and commercial commissions. Assignments included a series of paintings for Bentley Motors and posters for the Villa d’Este, the 2006 Klausen Memorial,Red Bull and the GP Suisse 2009.
