Portraits of Friends - Andre
Artist, friend and muse, Andre Steyl
Artist and visionary, Andre is the man who started the Denmark Arts markets, and indeed Denmark Arts itself. He flies under the radar most of the time these days, and I'm sure there's a lot of people here now who have no idea how much Andre shaped our little town. He's one of Denmark's original 'bloody hippies' and a bloody treasure.
I’ve photographed Andre many times over the years and have included some of my old favourites below these photos I took of him over coffee a few days ago.
Mad Hair Day. 2007 - one of my favourite portraits of Andre
Rhythms of Life. 2014
2014. Andre with the painting he created with Derby artist and Mowanjum Elder, Donny Woolagoodja
