Andrews’ work mixes the colour palette of contemporary abstract painting with the cracked paint and varnish associated with Renaissance masters and nostalgic Victorian painting, from which he also appropriates various compositional and figurative elements.[2][4] He is a member of Contemporary British Painting and has exhibited nationally and internationally.[5] In 2009 Andrews was one of twelve artists chosen to appear in the BBC Television series "School of Saatchi",[6][7] he won the Marmite Prize for Painting III (2010-2011) with his work "The East Me" (500mm x 600mm acrylic on canvas).[8] He was a judge for the Marmite Prize for Painting IV (2012–13)[9] and was runner-up in the Greater Manchester Chamber of Commerce GM Art Prize 2016.[10]
