Oil on canvas

ANDREW SALGADO (b.1982, Canada) has been hailed as one of the most promising young figurative painters working today. Saatchi Art calls him "one to invest in now"; critic Edward Lucie Smith says he is a "dazzlingly skillful advocate [for painting]”; Tony Godfrey (author, Phaidon's Painting Today) calls him an "exciting artist with a particular vision"; and he is a "rising star" according to London's Evening Standard.
