“Art that sparks conversation, inspires reflection, and evokes emotion. Through bold imagery and layered symbolism, each piece invites viewers to see beyond the surface and discover their own meaning.”

**ABOUT**
**ANDREW SWARBRICK**

Welcome to **andrewswarbrickart.com**. I am an oil painter based in North Canterbury, New Zealand. My art is a reflection of my passion for expressing myself through various forms of inspiration. Painting allows me to explore new possibilities, transcend limits, and create surreal landscapes, characters, and deities filled with wonder, curiosity, and motivation.
Recently, I have been delving into a fresh perspective on my practice and expression. This exploration has inspired me to pursue my dreams, embrace change, strive for excellence, and make a meaningful impact on the world around us. I am eager to share this journey with you and appreciate your involvement.
Please enjoy my gallery, and don't forget to visit the shop for original works and a selection of Limited Edition Giclée Prints.

Crab Bucket

101 x 75cm, Oil on Canvas

$8,000.00

Title: Crab Bucket
Size: 101 × 75cm (39.7 × 29.5 inches)
Medim: Oil on canvas
Year: 2022

About the artwork:

Crab Bucket is a surreal and darkly playful exploration of conformity, pressure, and the instinct to pull others back when they try to escape the crowd. A distorted figure emerges from a chaotic underwater world, surrounded by grasping forms and vivid goldfish—a strange, unsettling metaphor for the “Crab Bucket” mentality.

Painted in oils using Andrew’s distinctive limited-palette approach, the work combines hyper-detailed realism with surreal imagery and dark humour, creating a work that is as visually compelling as it is psychologically provocative. The intricate textures and expressive anatomy give the painting a rich, tactile intensity. Crab Bucket is a one-of-one original artwork.

Study #33

51 x 41cm, Study

$300.00

Title: Study #33 from the “Modus Operandi Series”
Size: 51 × 41cm (20 × 16.1 inches)
Medim: Oil on canvas paper
Year: 2021

About the artwork:

These subject studies originate from my early-morning speed-painting practice, where I investigate form, motion, and composition that later surface in larger works. Each session is a disciplined burst of spontaneity: five pieces at two minutes each, two at five minutes, two at ten minutes, and one final work at twenty minutes—wiping the surface clean between intervals. The piece shown is the last painting from that sequence. Many studies include a QR code you can scan to view the full creation process for the work you've chosen.

Artwork details:

~ Oil on canvas paper
~ Mounted in white conservation matt
~ Image dimensions: 29cm x 20.5cm (11.4 × 8 inches)
~ Matt dimensions: 51cm x 41cm (20 × 16.1 inches)

Each study is mounted on matte board and arrives ready to hang as-is or easily slide into a frame that suits your space.
