Andee Collard (UK)
Andee Collard lives and works in Bolton. Making art everyday about art & the everyday he has several ongoing projects; he made daily drawings for 4 years and has been taking a self portrait daily for the last 11 years.
Andee’s current practice uses home made CNC machines, plotters to make analogue paintings and drawings. His practice is a hybrid approach that combines aspects of painting, drawing, photography, printmaking, design with coding, engineering, writing and education.
Collard's deliberate use of prosaic subject matter; traditional tropes like still-life or portraiture or fan based sci-fi imagery disguise a wider investigation into the uses technology, machine labour and the ongoing conflicts between human experience, aura and mechanical reproduction.
