The Napoleon Inn in Boscastle
- Credit: James Ram
Andrew Grundon is an artist. Even though his work does not hang in art galleries and his name is not universally known – there’s a good chance that you will have seen his paintings. For Cornish-based Andrew is an inn sign artist and his pictorial boards hang outside pubs all over Cornwall.
From the grit and grime depicted in the miners toil at the North Inn in Pendeen to the noble and lofty majesty of Napoleon at Boscastle, Andrew’s work can be found all over the region. Pretty much every village I go into in Cornwall I can find a pub with one of my signs, says Andrew. Not that he’s always happy to see them. Sometimes I’ll look at them at them and think I could have done that better. If you’re aiming to achieve anything artistically you’re always trying to improve on your last piece of work.
