24.5.23 - Hurvin Anderson elected as a Royal Academician
Congratulations to Hurvin Anderson who has been elected as a Royal Academician in the category of Painting by The Royal Academy of Arts.
Hurvin Anderson was born in Birmingham in 1965. He lives and works in Cambridgeshire. He received a BA from Wimbledon School of Art, London in 1994 and an MA from the Royal College of Art, London in 1998.
Anderson’s paintings explore spaces occupied by Caribbean immigrants, such as public parks, gardens, barbershops and domestic interiors, which function as sites for both social gathering and economic enterprise. These settings represent the artist’s personal and cultural memories of functional spaces and shared experiences of the Caribbean.
Anderson was nominated for the Turner Prize in 2017 and a monograph of the artists’s work was published by Rizzoli in 2022. A major solo exhibition, Hurvin Anderson: Salon Paintings, opens at The Hepworth Wakefield on Friday 26 May 2023. Further information
