"Venice’s urban landscape is singular as it meets both horizontally and vertically within its surroundings. Here trace of architecture and historical signs, through their permutations, reflect and float into the canals. Likewise, the laguna also enters the work, there is no hierarchy of interests or things. Once in the page or the canvas, color becomes a defining attribute to complete the emotional tone of the work.”

“I am looking for a quiet banality, with some beauty.”
Andrew Huston
Now that the world is quiet and masked, we are obliged to look at each other’s eyes to smile, to connect or to reconnect with ourselves. The universe silenced us for a while, so we could contemplate everything around us. Art has never been so important to help us go on, especially in this uncertain phase and as Andrew Huston says about his photographs: “I am looking for a quiet banality, with some beauty.”
