Andrew Sim

Anton Kern Gallery is delighted to present the Scottish artist Andrew Sim’s forthcoming solo presentation at Window, featuring new paintings and works on paper. Here Sim presents new variations on their signature motifs, including werewolves, Santa Clauses, sunflowers, daisies, and monkey puzzle trees. In these works, the artist intertwines elements of their autobiography with fantasy, mythology, and the mysteries of nature to explore the internal and external queer experience. Through their subjects’ poses, delicate rendering, and otherworldly glow, these archetypal forms become vessels through which to express vulnerability, transformation, and growth.

Andrew Sim (b. 1987, Glasgow) lives and works in London. Their work has been the subject of two solo shows at The Modern Institute in Glasgow (2022, 2023) and one at Karma in New York City (2019). Notable group exhibitions include: ‘To be a giant and keep quiet about it’, Margot Samel, New York (2022); and ‘Heal the sick, raise the dead’, Part of Glasgow International (2021). This marks the artist's first presentation with Anton Kern Gallery.
