In this episode of Art on a Podcast, Rosa Torr talks with Andrew Salgado about his work, art school, and Derek Jarman, plus Andrew gives an exclusive update. London-based Canadian artist Andrew Salgado graduated from Chelsea College with an MA in Fine Art in 2009, and is now regarded as one of the leading figurative painters working in the Uk today. Since rising to prominence, Salgado’s work has evolved from his signature large-scale portraits into abstract, narratively-driven paintings, still with a central focus on The Figure. With a keen sense of humour and self-awareness of his place within the tradition of figurative painting, with his work readily recalling Gaugin, Matisse, and Bacon. This interest in figurative portraiture is evident in the works created for the Art on a Postcard Winter Auction 2021, a mini series entitled ‘Authors with Big Noses’, featuring portraits of Virginia Woolf, Nikolai Gogol, and Derek Jarman. Since 2010, Salgado has had over fifteen sold-out solo exhibitions around the world in London, New York, Cape Town, Basel, Zagreb, Toronto and Miami. His forthcoming solo exhibitions include Four Seasons in a Small Room at Allouche Gallery in New York, and Tomorrow I’ll be Perfect at MAKI in Japan. Salgado has generously donated Lots 510, 511, and 512 to the Art on a Postcard Winter Auction 2021 to help raise money for @hepatitisctrust which is celebrating its 20th anniversary. Bidding starts at £50 on each lot. Auction runs from 4th - 25th November 2021.
