Andy SmithSelf Improvement - Surreal Android Portrait in Oil on Canvas with Textured Gessoc. 2010
c. 2010
About the Item
Dark surreal portrait of an humanoid cyborg performing surgery on itself by Andy Smith (American, 20th Century). The android is pulling on a wire emanating from it's head, preparing to cut it with scissors. The piece is executed on a textured background, with drips of paint revealing the heavy gesso. Of particular note are the features of the android - there are great details in the mechanical components. Although this piece appears to be monochrome, there is an underlayer of blue, creating a faint glow in a few areas.
Unsigned, but purchased with a collection of the artist's work.
Canvas size: 28"H x 28"W
Andy Smith is a surrealist artist from Santa Cruz, California. The majority of his work is figurative, with a surreal and sci-fi twist - the figures are generally android, mechanical, or mythical.
