Andrew Gifford’s paintings of both nature and cityscapes are concerned with the shifting effects of light and atmosphere. In this episode, he talks about painting wildlife from an early age, how particular episodes in his life forged his individual identity, the influence of an art teacher, why he painted cityscapes and the pleasant interactions with the public it entailed, how art has enriched everything he looks at, how his visual language has developed, the importance of shadow in his works, his recent trip to Costa Rica and his experience of the effects of climate change and loss of diversity.
