Andy Harper

Date of birth 20.Jul.71
Place of birth Hoddesdon, Herts
Country of residence United Kingdom

Harper’s practice is engaged with the idea of evolution. Predominantly an exploration in mark-making, the paintings develop an ever widening vocabulary. Earlier paintings relied on the repetition of a single and simple brush stroke to yield a mono-cultural field of grass. Over the past two years this simple process has diversified. The marks and combinations of marks form into images of a much more fantastical terrain. As the paintings adapt and change over time, each manifestation depicts an unnamable world separated from the here and now.

He lives and works in London and studied at Middlesex University, Royal College of Art and Brighton Polytechnic. Selected exhibitions include: 2006 John Moores 24, Walker Gallery, Liverpool. 2005 Jerwood Drawing Prize, Jerwood Space & UK Tour; Cloud & Vision, Museum of Garden History. He teaches at Goldsmiths College, Central St. Martins and City Lit.
