Andrew Sim

Episode 443 / 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, anthropomorphizing natural subjects and creating new characters to convey their relationship to Queerness, culture and identity. Andrew has shown at The Modern Institute, Karma, NY, Margot Samel, Summerhall in Edinburgh, Anton Kern and other venues. Andrew’s work has been covered in The Scotsman, The New York Times, Art Observed and more.
