Andy Burgess (artist)

In 2021 Burgess began work on a series of artworks for the Chelsea and Westminster Hospital, London. This is part of the Arts in Health program run by CW+, the official charity of Chelsea and Westminster Hospital Foundation Trust.

In 2016 Burgess was invited to collaborate with printmakers from the prestigious Tandem Press, Madison, WI. During his residencies at Tandem, Burgess produced lithographs, collages, relief prints, and etchings. Other notable artists featured by Tandem include Lynda Benglis, David Lynch, Art Spiegelman, Swoon, and Mickalene Thomas.

Burgess moved from London to Tucson, Arizona in 2009, where his brother lived. The sunshine of the American Southwest had a significant impact on is work, with Burgess focusing more on mid-century Modern architecture. Buildings by architects including Pierre Koenig, William Krisel, and Donald Wexler, have all been the subject of Burgess' art. His depictions of architecture remain abstract, with Burgess stating “I’m not interested in photorealism" and “I want to explore how paintings can capture how aspirational and romantic these places can be".
