"The paintings are built up in layer upon layer of paint which give the pieces great depth of field. They are created with an arsenal of tools that doesn't settle with convention. As well as the more widely acknowledged paint and brush the artist uses all manner of mediums, such as Correction Fluid, Spray Paint, Ink, Paint Markers, Texture Pastes, Charcoal, Graphite, Oil sticks and Collage. All applied in an equally diverse manner using brushes...

"My recent work now becomes more involved with cloud cover and its effect on light and colour through both its translucent and opaque properties. Clouds are visible masses of water droplets or frozen ice crystals suspended in the atmosphere. They have the ability to refract and reflect, creating an ever changing perception of light which inspires my use of colour. I am constantly referring to the paradox of a cloud’s perceived weight and its fragility and the relationship between the cool and warm colours created by it.

Other influences include Henry Matisse, Francis Cadell, Glasgow boys: Guthrie Lavery, Henry... and Joan Eardley...

This artwork depicts a night lanscape of the South of France. The sky is studded with golden leaves stars. The red-roofed provencal house provides a fit setting for its flowered garden, illuminated by the moonlight, figured as a large yellow beam textured with silk paper.

This piece is not framed. Andrée de Frémont...

This artwork depicts a marine landscape. Under a nice turquoise sky, small sailboat is cruising on the sea in the background on the right, and a gigantic straw-colored sail is emerging from a tumultuous and joyful wave. A large canvas, with somptuous matter and a richful pictorial expression. This piece is not framed. Andrée de Frémont...
