Andy Welland
Kaleidoscopic rainbows collide, prints sing and pink is everything in the world of Andy Welland.
Serving as the new contemporary artist for the next generation, Welland has an extensive background working with luxury brands and curated retailers.
His work–always graphic in nature–but never constrained to one medium–has appeared in the form of brightly abstract paintings, sculptures and product packaging in Selfridges, Liberty London, Lush and Anthropologie, among others.
Raised in Doncaster, U.K., by a trio of strong women with an appreciation for creativity, Welland’s mum, grandmother and auntie informed his initial interest in art. Welland kicked off his career with a degree in Fine Arts from Sheffield Hallam in 2007, before joining the luxury division of M&C Saatchi, and working across various boutique design studios in his native UK.
His background is in graphic design–and that’s what adds to his neverending visual collages of shapes, colours and forms. Inspired by his childhood imagination and nature, his focus is on creating high-quality work that is luxuriously colourful, also collaborating with LVMH and Amazon. At the end of the day, his mission is all about optimism; to spark joy through artwork.
