Born in Ireland, Andy Devane studied
painting at Limerick School of Art and Design.
Since moving to Italy in 2000 the principal subject
of his paintings has been the city of Rome. His
work combines the factual with the fantastical
and is painted in a classic style with strong
attention to detail.
During his seven years abroad he was involved
in a variety of group shows in the Italian capital
as well as staging his first solo exhibition Roman
Reflections in 2005. He returned to Ireland in 2007
where he worked from studios in Wexford, Dublin and
Drogheda. In early 2008 he held an exhibition entitled
Affinita in Dublin's Italian Institute of Culture
followed later that year with Roma Antica in the
Pontifical Irish College, Rome.
His most recent exhibition Carnevale took place in
early 2010 in Highgate Gallery, London, after which
he returned to live in Rome. He now paints from a
balcony near St Peter's. His next exhibition will
take place in Rome in spring 2011.
