An Orrery for Other Worlds
Andy Harper
6 February - 18 April 2010Preview: Saturday 6 February, 1-3pm
Artist Talk: Saturday 27 February, 2pm
Andy Harper's paintings seem to have no apparent beginning or end, they grow out from and deep into themselves, embracing and absorbing both the viewer and the space in which they are shown.
Andy's images of flora and fauna are at once natural and unnatural, of this planet and extraterrestrial. Moist patterns sprawl across and suffocate the surface of the works, executed with such precision and fluidity that visually they become as organic as they are man-made.
An Orrery for Other Worlds includes a number of major paintings, and a newly commissioned work made specifically for the gallery space.
Andy Harper was born in 1971 and lives and works in St. Just, Cornwall and London. He graduated with an MA in Fine Art Painting from the Royal College of Art in 1995 and an MA in Visual Culture from Middlesex University in 1999.
