Andy Bannister lives and works in London. Since graduating from Chelsea College of Art in 1992 he has made and exhibited works which employ a range of media including sculpture, drawing, video and sound. Most recently, his work was included in the 2018 and 2022 Trinity Buoy Wharf Drawing Prize exhibitions.
His current practice investigates the impact of science and technology on culture and society from the mid-twentieth century to the present. Since 2017 he has created a number of drawings which involve the meticulous transcription of archival photographs and documents that relate to the history of the atomic age; in doing this he aims to reveal the latent meanings that these images hold and to explore the connections between them.
