Studio Sale | Andrew Hardy
17 JANUARY 2022 - 10 FEBRUARY 2022Notes
One of a series of paintings made in 2019 using rust and graphite on linen. This painting depicts a detail of 'Peine del Viento XV' 1977 (The Comb of the Wind), a monumental iron sculpture by Basque sculptor Eduardo Chillida that is mounted on rocks overlooking the sea in San Sebastián in the Basque region of Spain.
Andrew says of his work, "I try to make paintings that draw viewers in, to question and enjoy their materiality. The works don't usually have any meaning although I do aim for them to be meaningful… which is a different thing.”
