Career
He is known for his large figurative paintings. Stahl is Professor of Fine Art and Head of Undergraduate Painting at the Slade School of Fine Artist Since this time he has shown widely internationally.
In 2000 Stahl did a British Council funded residency at Chiang Mai University.
Much of his recent work reflects on travels to Japan and Thailand and addresses the conflation of time, space and cultures that long-haul travel brings. Andrew Stahl"s paintings approach cultural differences and connections using pictorial language, imagination and figuration.
Images become vehicles to carry painterly experimentation. This was underpinned by a further series of residencies in Thailand, plus residencies in Australia (Sydney) and China (Guangzhou).
