About the Artist

Hurvin Anderson is a highly acclaimed British painter of Jamaican heritage, whose distinctive work navigates the complex interplay of identity, memory, and cultural hybridity. His vibrant, multi-layered canvases often depict recurring motifs such as barbershops, lush Caribbean landscapes, or intimate domestic scenes, rendered with a compelling blend of figuration and abstraction. Anderson's art explores the ways in which personal and collective memories are constructed and mediated, often creating a sense of fractured reality or ethereal presence. His nuanced use of color, pattern, and form invites viewers to reflect on themes of belonging, displacement, and the rich tapestry of cultural exchange.
