Biography
Andy Devane was born in Drogheda, Ireland in 1979. He
studied painting at Limerick School of Art & Design
before moving to Rome in 2000. His main subject matter
since then has been recording Italy's historic and
architectural heritage, painting a mixture of the factual
and fantastical in a classic style with strong attention
to detail.
During his seven years abroad he was involved in a variety of major exhibitions in the Italian capital as well as travelling widely throughout Italy. In 2007 he returned to Ireland, establishing his own studio in south Co. Wexford. His works are held in many private collections; in Rome he still travels there regularly for commissions. In early 2008 he staged a solo exhibition entitled 'Affinita' at the Istituto Italiano di Cultura, Dublin. Later that year he held "Roma Antica" in the Pontifical Irish College, Rome.
He paints fulltime from the studios of Droichead Arts Centre and is currently exhibiting paintings in Callan Art, Drogheda. He has recently embarked on a new body of work for his 2010 show in London's Highgate Gallery.
