Andrew Cranston was born in Hawick in the Scottish Borders in 1969, and now lives and works
in Glasgow.
He studied at Gray’s School of Art, Aberdeen and then completed his postgraduate studies at the Royal College of Art, where he was taught by Peter Doig and Adrian Berg.
Engaging with the layered emotional quality and pathos of everyday life, as well as a strong sense of place, be it real or imagined, Cranston’s evocatively titled paintings contain compelling and intriguing narratives that have the collaged dream-like quality of recollection and what he calls ‘creative misremembering’.
He said ‘above all what is important to me in a painting is a mood, the atmosphere of it… painting is an act of remembering and forgetting, covering and uncovering, tracing and retracing, getting lost and finding a way’.
His formally inventive and highly intimate paintings find new ways to connect the personal and art historical past with the present through a gamut of visual and literary references and shared
experiences. The paintings exploit what is perhaps only glanced existing in the periphery of vision and embody a sense of revelation, wonder and oddness in familiar situations. Connections and highly personal associations are deeply entwined in these works creating a rewarding and memorable experience.
