The Birmingham-born, Turner Prize-nominated artist Hurvin Anderson
is best known for his brightly painted, densely detailed landscapes
and interior scenes, which are drawn from his own photographs,
sketches and personal recollections particularly those relating to
his upbringing in the Afro-Caribbean community in the Midlands, as
well as more recent trips to the Caribbean. Anderson s luscious
paintings have hybridity at their heart. A tug-of-war plays out
between abstraction and figuration, nature versus the manmade,
beauty and menace, and his British and Jamaican heritage. Born in
the United Kingdom as a member of the Jamaican diaspora, Anderson
relates to the Caribbean as both insider and outsider, aware of the
mythmaking that the idea of lost or future paradise generates.
Anderson, the youngest of eight children, grew up listening to his
family reminisce about their lives in the Caribbean before they
moved to England in the 1960s, an emotional through-line to his
work, suggesting the longing and loss that keeps certain
geographies alive in us. This book, Anderson s first major
monograph, has been carefully curated by the artists himself and
includes paintings, sketches, source material and ephemera, studio
shots, and a series of black-and-white drawings created exclusively
for this publication. The volume also features an in-depth and
deeply considered essay by art historian Catherine Lampert, a text
by poet and writer Roger Robinson, and an illustrated chronology.
