An Orrery for Other Worlds : Andy Harper

6 Feb-18 Apr 2010

Overview

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. 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.
