ARTIST PROFILE

Andrew Sibley’s works in Perspex and bas-relief demonstrate his persistent concern to investigate the process of seeing. Sibley invents a visual world ambiguously poised between painting and sculpture, a kind of drawing in three dimensions in which layers of space resonate and interact with painterly ambiguity. He exploits the tensions between the veils and layers, fogging up the visual field at the same time as flourishing a slippery quality of paint that is dragged, wiped and split across surfaces with a surreal spontaneity.
