About this artwork
These portraits stem from research into Freud’s theories about the human psyche and its tripartite structure made up of the Id, the Ego, and the Super - Ego.
Starting with a fairly complex series of line drawings which is then refined through discarding the superfluous, and further developed and simplified in colour, with additional collage. At each stage, the works take on a different aspect of the same personality and often, the final work bears… little resemblance to the initial first drawing. These portraits are not about “likenesses” in the sense of realism, they are about the personality of the subject and how J sees them. This approach to portrait painting also begs the question of how much the artist brings his own Id, Ego and Super - Ego to the process.

« Art is nothing without imagination and thoughtful play. »
Jamie Andrews is British multimedia artist currently living in Suffolk. His work explores several genres - landscape, portrait, religious, political, social and satirical. His inspiration to become an artist stems from his family, particularly his father who was an art dealer, leading him to playfully draw, opening a whole new world of visual communication.
