These patterns, once decorative, are fractured, oxidised and buried beneath darkened glazes. Surface becomes structure, beauty is something earned.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">The resulting works are richly layered, both visually and historically. Built through a process of erosion and repair, each piece feels architectural, grounded and quietly powerful.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">We currently have a strong body of work by Szczech available. With prices likely to rise, it\u2019s a good time to collect.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/newbloodart.com\/artist\/andrew-szczech\"><strong>View available works<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_28977\" style=\"width: 710px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/newbloodart.com\/artwork\/coppins-ghost-farm-1-by-andrew-szczech\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-28977\" class=\"wp-image-28977 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp.media.newbloodart.com\/2025\/06\/19232220\/coppins-ghost-farm-1_98cae3b968901efb8ace8f2ef041c5c3.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"1087\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp.media.newbloodart.com\/2025\/06\/19232220\/coppins-ghost-farm-1_98cae3b968901efb8ace8f2ef041c5c3.webp 700w, https:\/\/s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp.media.newbloodart.com\/2025\/06\/19232220\/coppins-ghost-farm-1_98cae3b968901efb8ace8f2ef041c5c3-193x300.webp 193w, https:\/\/s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp.media.newbloodart.com\/2025\/06\/19232220\/coppins-ghost-farm-1_98cae3b968901efb8ace8f2ef041c5c3-659x1024.webp 659w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-28977\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Coppins Ghost Farm #1 Andrew Szczech<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since his sold-out MA degree show in 2021, Andrew Szczech has continued to gain serious attention.
