About Me.

Andrew Mogridge is an artist who thrives on the absurd and celebrates the limitless power of imagination. His work explores the farcical nature of power dynamics and authority, driven by an intuitive approach that embraces the unexpected and cherishes happy accidents. He often works with figurative archetypes on unconventional surfaces, adding a layer of risk and uncertainty to his creations. But don't overthink it—Andrew’s art isn’t about seeking deep meanings; it’s all about sharing acerbic humour and pure enjoyment!
As he puts it: “As a storyteller, I embrace the absurd and value impulse over preconception. With a touch of humour, I explore themes of power, violence, the farce of authority, and the vitality of life with all its fragility and impermanence. I exploit the material properties of the medium, and each new work is given a title, a christening-immediately uncoupled from any meaning, making any attempt at explanation impractical.
By reaching into the sock drawer of my mind, I can only hope my work subverts social norm.
