Andy Burgess (born 1969) is a British artist based in Tucson, Arizona. He is best known for his abstract depiction of modernist architecture, in particular for mid-century modern homes.[1] Likened to David Hockney,[2] Burgess describes his style as "Pop Geometry".[3]
Burgess has exhibited at the Tucson Museum of Art, University of Arizona Museum of Art, the Cynthia Corbett Gallery in London,[4] Tandem Press in Wisconsin,[5] the Bonner David Galleries in Scottsdale, Arizona,[6] and the Etherton Gallery in Tucson.[7] Burgess's known collectors include Kazuo Ishiguro and Emma Thompson.[8][9]
Early life
[edit]Burgess was born and raised in London, England. He is the son of actor John Burgess and Lana Burgess.[10] Burgess originally studied Politics at the University of Leeds, and interned for Labour Party member Jack Straw,[11] but in the last year of his studies he took night drawing classes at Jacob Kramer College.[12] Burgess subsequently studied Fine Art at the Byam Shaw School of Art, London[13]
Work
[edit]Burgess cites artists including Piet Mondrian, Stuart Davis, Richard Diebenkorn, David Hockney, Kurt Schwitters, and Edward Hopper as influences.[1][5][14] The paintings Burgess made in London typically depicted city scenes.[15]
Burgess moved from London to Tucson, Arizona, in 2009, where his brother lived.[12] Burgess then started to focus more on painting mid-century Modern architecture.[12] Buildings by architects Pierre Koenig, William Krisel, and Donald Wexler have been the subject of Burgess's art.[16] Burgess has stated that he is not interested in photorealism.[13]
In 2016, Burgess was invited to collaborate with printmakers from the Tandem Press, Madison, Wisconsin.[8] During his residencies at Tandem, Burgess produced lithographs, collages, relief prints, and etchings.[12] In 2021, Burgess began work on a series of artworks for the Chelsea and Westminster Hospital, London[17][18] as a part of the Arts in Health program[19] run by CW+.[20]
Collages
[edit]In his collages, he uses vintage ephemera, including 1930s to 1940s matchbooks,[3] ticket stubs, and advertising,[11] many featuring midcentury typography.[13] The collages often represent city skylines. His collages are inspired by Kurt Schwitters, Sonia Delaunay, and Russian constructivism.[11] In March 2018, Burgess presented cubist collages at the Etherton Gallery in Tucson.[14]
Photography
[edit]Burgess is also a photographer. His work is published by Grand Image in Seattle[21] and Rosenstiels in the UK.[3]
