About The Artwork
Known for their ethereal paintings; Andrew Sim utilises recurring motifs of trees, rainbows, stars and various mythological creatures to folkloric effect, dreamily symbolising queer experience, community and evolution. For works on paper Sim joins sheets of A4 together and tapes this ‘canvas’ to the wall to work on with pastels. There is an unprecious practicality to this process where tape marks, wrinkles and torn corners become a part of the artwork. In this edition, these elements remain visible, highlighting the materiality of Sim’s process.
About Andrew Sim
Andrew Sim (b. 1987, Glasgow) lives and works in New York. They work across drawing and painting, often utilising their favoured medium of pastel in large-scale figurative pieces. Sim’s practice borrows from their everyday experience to inflect various motifs – werewolves, sunflowers, horses, and trees, amongst other items – with elements of autobiography, anthropomorphising natural subjects and creating new characters to convey their relationship to Queerness, culture and identity.
