Aye-Aye Books Andrew Cranston - Who is This Who is Coming?

The launch of the first major monograph of paintings by Andrew Cranston.

Cranston's work explores interior space as a catalyst for images, elaborating on situations experienced directly, or found in cinema, theatre and literature. By using fiction as his source material, he ensures that his subjects remain forever suspended in an impenetrable isolation and imparts a despondent poetry about the creative process. In many of his paintings the walls are merely partitions and a dense background encroaches and encircles the picture, trapping whatever is within.

He describes himself as a ‘storyteller of sorts, staging observed and imaginary scenarios that often involve the human figure, engaged and absorbed in particular activities.'

This hardback publication from Aye-Aye Books includes an essay by Liza Dimbleby, and will be available at a special launch price at the event.
