Andy Holden’s work comprises large installations, sculpture, painting, music, performance, animation, curating and multi-screen-videos. The artist is known for his intensely personal, eclectic work, often involving cartoon representations of himself and an oscillation between irony and sincerity. From 2011-2017 Holden worked on Laws of Motion in a Cartoon Landscape, a hour-long animated film exploring the idea that the world was now best understood as a cartoon. The sequel, Structure of Feeling, attempts to describe the world to come. Comprising a series of cartoon animations, sculptures and paintings, it forms the core of Holden’s current exhibition at Charles Moffett. Holden’s work can be found in the permanent public collections of Tate, Bristol Museum, and many others.
