Andrew Carter

Andrew Carter (b. 1964) studied Fine Art Painting at Central St Martins and an MA in Printmaking at Camberwell College of Art. He has been awarded the Jealous Graduate Prize and Bainbridge Award. He teaches painting, drawing and printmaking alongside developing his own work as an artist.

His recent body of work explores the link between subjects found in the landscape and the geometric arrangement of pattern, shape, and colour. Whilst there is diversity in the places his subjects are found there is a commitment to a specific process of arrangement and cutting relief blocks for printing.

Carter comments; “All of my ideas start with something seen outside, between forms, or through windows and then, through a process of elimination and selection, I try to arrive at an image that transcends the commonplace. Drawings are made and images are cut in reverse, before being printed by hand.”
