At a young age, he prepared his canvases on his own and then took courses in drawing and painting at the University of Chicago, where he took part in his first group exhibition. Since then, he has worked in different styles with different means. The result is an explosion of colour, a whimsical organisation of forms. If his paintings are rather abstract, in his drawings a host of animals, most often birds, sometimes humans, form couples or groups, turned towards each other, uncertain, unbelieving, in search of solidarity and love.

André Waksman lives and works in Tavira and is having a retrospective of his wonderful work at the Artesis Galeria which is located on 15 Travessa Zacharias Guerreiro in Tavira.

The exhibition started on the 15 of June and will be running throughout the month of August. The gallery is open Tuesday to Sunday from 10am to 1pm and viewings can also be done by appointment whereby you can call André on +351 965 117 505.
