Repeating yourself
Anderson (b. 1965, Handsworth, Birmingham, UK). This exhibition marks Anderson’s first in New York in nearly a decade.
Nature, in all its untamed and man-made forms, has been a recurring subject in Anderson ... contrast to the English countryside, where he lives and works, Anderson paints the flora of the Caribbean, his family’s homeland. Anderson allows images, patterns, and ideas resurface, repeating himself because, as he says, history ... itself, and “you think ideas belong to someone but in fact they belong to no one.”
