Swash is an artform invented by Edinburgh based Scottish colourist Andrew Hennessey in 2009 and is derived from nature and the interplay of an ocean of colour in an environment of digital design.
Andrew Hennessey is from the tradition of the Scottish colourist and modernist and sees the essence of life as awash with the swirl of colour.
Swash, in geography, is a turbulent layer of water that washes up on the beach after an incoming wave has broken. The swash action can move beach material up and down on the beach, which results in the cross-shore sediment exchange.
In Swash by Andrew Hennessey we are looking at the refraction of waves of colour and light as they interact with our vision our spirit and the canvas of our imagination.
