Jim Anderson – Artist’s Statement

Jim Anderson is multi-media artist living in London, where he divides his time between printmaking, painting, mosaic-making, teaching and writing. His work encompasses many different media and ideas; but use of unusual, found, or recycled materials is paramount, and his work is steeped in the surreal and the satirical.

He exhibits internationally, and his prints have won various prizes in national exhibitions  -  most recently in 2009’s Eastern Art Show and in 2007’s Small Print Big Impression. In 1997 he was a co-founder of The Illustrated Ape magazine; he is a frequent contributor to the journal Printmaking Today; and in 2000 his book Handmade Prints  -  co-authored with Anne Desmet  -  was published by A & C Black.
