Hurvin Anderson : Reporting Back

25 Sep-10 Nov 2013

Overview

Ikon presents the most comprehensive exhibition to date of paintings by British artist Hurvin Anderson (b.1965), evoking sensations of being caught between one place and another, drawn from personal experience. It surveys the artist's career, including work made shortly after he graduated from the Royal College of Art, London, in 1998, through the acclaimed Peter's Series (2007-9), inspired by his upbringing in Birmingham's Afro-Caribbean community, and ongoing works arising out of time spent in Trinidad in 2002. Filling Ikon's entire exhibition space, Reporting Back traces the development of Anderson's distinct figurative style.
