Andrew Hasler is a British artist known for his striking depictions of marine wildlife and dynamic underwater scenes. His creative journey was deeply influenced by his experience as a scuba diver, which opened up a new visual world that continues to inspire his work. Since 1999, Hasler has exhibited widely, steadily building a reputation for his refined technique and compelling subject matter.
With a lifelong passion for art and nature, Hasler draws on both instinct and discipline in his creative process. His early fascination with native wildlife laid the foundation for a practice that combines detailed observation with bold, sculptural form. His sculptural works—often minimal in shape yet rich in finish—reflect a seamless integration of skills acquired during his previous career in classic car restoration. Utilising materials and techniques from the motor trade, he creates sleek, contemporary pieces with lasting durability and visual impact.
Whether working in paint or sculpture, Hasler’s aim is to capture the essence and movement of his subjects. His compositions are intentionally uncluttered, directing the viewer’s focus to the spirit and character of the creatures he portrays. Every aspect of his work, from colour and shape to surface treatment, demonstrates a meticulous and thoughtful approach that celebrates both form and life.
