Andrew creates paintings with an appealing immediacy – they are full of charm, yet all have an underlying subversive element, creating a slight sense of unease in the viewer. They are painted from memory and function as individual mnemonic devices recollecting very specific experiences and events. The artist states "although giving the appearance of assumed naïveté and detachment, they attempt to represent very particular moments of engagement with the emphasis on the feeling of the experience. They are both oblique and yet explicit". Themes which recur in his work are nature, culture, sex and travelling.

His paintings contain no dramatis personae as they are intended to function as theatre scenes – only the traces of a past event remain, inviting the viewer into a world that is cloaked in melodrama. Something is happening, has happened or is about to happen. The artist wants to promote the memory and imagination of the viewer. He invites us to create our own narrative and participate in the work in our own subjective way.
