Artwork location: Japan

This artwork is a bold and contemporary composition, skillfully blending elements of collage and acrylic paint to create a visually dynamic scene. The word “Future” written in bold, vibrant letters, takes center stage at the top of the canvas, immediately drawing the viewer’s eye and suggesting a reflection on the possibilities and potentialities to come. The color palette used is rich and varied, with deep reds, vibrant blues, refreshing greens, and pops of pink and yellow adding energy and dynamism to the work. The juxtaposition of colors and geometric shapes creates a striking contrast and visual tension that keeps the viewer interested. A distinctive element of this work is the inclusion of a stylized flower, depicted on the left of the composition. This flower, with its sharp contours and subtle hues, brings a touch of naturalness and delicacy, contrasting with the surrounding angular shapes and rigid lines. To the right of the composition, a partially filled bottle is beautifully rendered in tones of brown and amber, appearing to emit a warm glow. Its presence evokes a suggestion of intimacy and personal contemplation, adding a narrative dimension to the work. The background is a complex assemblage of overlapping bands of color and patterns, creating visual depth and rich texture. This complexity invites prolonged observation, allowing new details to be discovered with each glance. The work, through its avant-garde style and implicit message, encourages deep reflection on the concept of the future, the juxtaposition of the inert and the living, and the interplay of form and color. It is a piece that captures not only the eye, but also the imagination, and perfectly exemplifies the spirit of contemporary art.

Andrew Weir, Future Perfect Continuous
United Kingdom  • 1979

Presentation

Andrew Weir was born in Scotland. He studied at Gray's School of Art (Robert Gordon University) and graduated with BA (hons) in 2003. As part of his degree, he also studied at the Maastricht Academy of Fine Arts (The Netherlands). He lived in Japan for almost a decade, teaching English at various universities and has only recently moved back to Europe (Germany) in the spring of 2016 to commit himself to painting. His work is held in private collections throughout Europe, Scandinavia, North America, Australia and Japan. 

"Having lived in several vastly different places, I am interested in exploring the emotional experience of moving from one culture to another. I am also fascinated by the relationship between symbols (e.g. language and mythological symbolism) and the incredible depth and variety of meaning they contain. These symbols shape our perceptions of the world; consequently, they subconsciously affect how and why we act.

Moreover, these communicative systems of symbols that we create, modify, and discard have an ephemeral nature. Individual words lose their original meanings and change. Whole languages are lost, discovered, and created. Symbols which were once taboo or progressive somehow become pedestrian and mundane.These tools (symbols) which we use are pathways to understanding our past, present, and where we want to be as individuals and as societies in the future."
