Andrew Kinmont

Andrew developed a deep appreciation of nature during a childhood spent walking and enjoying the wildness of the African landscape. Completing his schooling with awards in Art, he studied Fine Art at the University of Wales, graduating with a first class Honours degree in 2007. Whilst studying, Andrew curated exhibitions and showed his work at local galleries and abroad. Since then, Andrew’s work has met with critical acclaim and is collected both locally and abroad. Andrew is an elected member of the prestigious Royal Birmingham Society of Artists, as well as the Manchester Academy of Fine Art. Andrew’s work has appeared on the cover of various magazines and catalogues and is regularly selected for the Royal Institute of Oil Painters annual exhibition at the Mall Galleries, London. In 2022, Andrew’s work was selected for the new London Raffles hotel collection. And this year, his work won first prize at the Royal Birmingham Society’s Summer Exhibition. The spectacular and often wild landscapes of Cheshire and North Wales are a vital influence for his work and so he established his home and studio near Chester.
