(1966 - )
Andrew Grassie was born in Edinburgh. He studied painting in London at St Martin’s School of Art (1984-1988) and then at the Royal College of Art (1988-1990). In the late 1990s and early 2000s he made paintings that resembled photographs, including tempera on paper studies of the gallery interiors in which they were exhibited. He won the Special Merit Award at the John Moores Painting Prize in 2004 and had a solo exhibition at Tate Britain, part of the Art Now series, in 2005. He has shown his work in numerous group exhibitions across Britain and Europe; in addition to recent solo exhibitions in London, Edinburgh, Cologne, Berlin and New York. He currently lives and works in London.
