Hurvin Anderson by Michael J Prokopow
This book examines the way in which the work of British artist Hurvin Anderson has developed since the late 1990s to incorporate installation, prints and photographs within the idiom of painting.
'Hurvin Anderson is in many ways a painter both of our time and for our time, able to lend abstraction and representation in equal measures of surety and wonderProkopow offers the first substantial exploration of Anderson's nearly three-decade practice in a manner that replicates the deep examination that his paintings require of and ignite for the viewer. This is a thoughtful, careful text that has superbly brought forth a painter of similar description.' -- Courtney J. Martin * Director, Yale Center for British Art *
'Written with clarity, care and precision, this monograph is hugely welcome. It is the first to give in-depth attention to an artist whose eloquent touch has revitalized painting in a moment when our perception of landscape and our attachment to a sense of place grows ever more complex in light of transnational migrations and the fragile ecology of our planet.' -- Kobena Mercer * Author of Travel & See: Black Diaspora Practices since the 1980s *
