‘C’

Andrew Mockett | Four Colour Woodcut on Japanese Tenjin paper | Edition of 50 | Framed | 25 x 23 inches 

Andrew is an artist who carries the concerns and tropes of Pop Art into new and unexpected territories. His large-scale brightly coloured prints of popular cartoon characters and packaging designs from the 1960’s and 70’s do not rely on the mechanical reproduction processes of the Mass Media by which they were first disseminated. Instead, they are painstakingly created from woodcut blocks or multiple screen-printings. This neat inversion of the accepted order confounds the viewer’s expectations, and charges these alluringly familiar Pop images with a new and unexpected force.

Committed to subverting artistic hierarchies, another series of works takes the tiny woodcut images of popular eighteenth-century ‘Chap Books’ and re-imagines them on a monumental scale, and with the vibrant colours of the screen-printer’s palette.

Andrew’s work has been extensively exhibited in touring exhibitions in public galleries across the UK, USA and South East Asia.

He is currently living in Italy.
