Andrew RadcliffeAndrew Radcliffe was born in Connecticut. He received a BFA from Pratt Institute in 1984, attended Skowhegan in 1984 and received an MFA from the San Francisco Art Institute in 1987. He presently works in a studio in Union Square, Manhattan. His work is comprised of oil paintings, watercolors and ink drawings. For over 30 years, his works continue to explore the drama, perils and elations that life may bring, using the human figure in unusual, sometimes disjointed poses to reflect this condition and trigger emotion. The figures act as allegories, caught in the chaos of existence—tumbling, spinning, swimming, climbing, descending, ascending. A broad variety of painting techniques engulf the figure, fragment or alter its appearance as well as frame the envi- ronment it exists in. Through this visual language, he explores an ongoing portrait of the human condition, our shared fragility, as well as our shared resilience. ‘I have been painting the remarkable beauty of St Barthelemy since 2006 when I first moved here. The clarity of light, color of water, dramatic cliffs, and off shore islands ask to be appreci- ated and painted. Including the swimmer invites the viewer to imagine themself in the scene, engaging in the water immersed in pure nature.’ ARTIST CV (HIGHLIGHTS) SELECTED SOLO EXHIBITIONS 2023 Surprise Chrystie, New York, NY 2011 Eden Rock, St. Barthélemy, FWI 2009 Eden Rock, St. Barthélemy, FWI 2008 Eden Rock, St. Barthélemy, FWI 2002 U.
