Andrew
Atchison
Andrew Atchison works across multiple art forms with a particular interest in language and public space. His practice explores queer identity formation, conditions of visibility, refusal as an aesthetic position, and the relationship between pleasure and intellect in contemporary art. Atchison’s work responds to the question of how queerness can be brought to form sculpturally, without using bodily figuration or other tropes historically associated with the category of Queer Art. Instead, Queer abstraction is proposed as an alternative mode due to its radical openness and subversive relation to fixed signifiers of personhood.
Andrew Atchison is represented by LON Gallery, Naarm/Melbourne.
