Based in Bristol, Andrew Hardwick’s work is landscape based and looks at strange wilderness zones, both those seemingly natural and those man made. His paintings play with and subvert traditional ideas of landscape painting and the sublime.
After gaining an MA in Fine Art at the University of Wales, Cardiff, Hardwick has gone on to show in numerous exhibitions across the country.
