ARTIST INFORMATION
Andy Lawson
Andy Lawson has exhibited extensively in London and the southwest. He undertook a residency at the Serpentine Gallery in 2006 as part of ‘Hearing Voices, Seeing Things’ in conjunction with the LCCA. His first solo show, ‘PhicoiBia I’, a large scale site specific installation took place in June 2008 at St Pauls Art Space in Bow; the central thread of which focussed on the display of a vast collection of objects. Other projects include photographic documentations of carrier bags caught in trees, paintings using the ‘skin’ from tins of gloss paint and drawings mapped by molluscs. Whilst difficult to pin down, his practice often incorporates found objects, chance and/or an acknowledged use of systems in determining the work...He has taken part in various group shows, most recently; ‘Intersections’ at the Nunnery in Bow in March 2009 and ‘Ought to be Bought’ Unit 2, Whitechapel in April 2009...
Andy graduated with BA first class Honours from London Metropolitan University in the year 2000. He is currently studying his Masters Degree in Fine Art Drawing at Wimbledon College of Art (part of the University of the Arts London); he lives and works in East London where he teaches on the BA Fine Art Degree at London Metropolitan University. Andy was born in Cornwall and brought up in Plymouth, Devon; he has lived in London since 1997.
