New & Noteworthy Artist

Andy Mercer's work has been sold at Habitat in limited quantities - here's your chance to own a signed print.

Andy layers line, shape, colour, graffiti, and personal mark-making into an atmospheric patchwork of city life.

Andy's work has been featured on the BBC and exhibited at their Lancaster studio.

Andy Mercer blurs the boundaries between graphic and 'traditional' fine art. His work is full of fabulous contrasts and contradictions. He mainly draws inspiration from the textures and imagery surrounding us on the streets: rusting metals, graffiti, rough concrete, street signs of the urban landscapes of north west England.

Mercer's layers of line, shape, colour and personal mark-making are crafted into an atmospheric patchwork of urban life. He enjoys building complex realities rich in the patterns and rhythms of cities. They evolve as naturally as a Klee, constantly changing and giving us an organic picture that weaves the fabric of society into his work.

Like all artists, the social commentator is prevalent in his work with powerful messages and radical thoughts.

Mercer has said; I'm really just a landscape artist at heart.
