Hurvin Anderson was born in Birmingham in 1965. He lives and works in Cambridgeshire. He received a BA from Wimbledon School of Art, London in 1994 and an MA from the Royal College of Art, London in 1998.  Anderson’s paintings explore spaces occupied by Caribbean immigrants, such as public parks, gardens, barbershops and domestic interiors, which function as sites for both social gathering and economic enterprise. These settings represent the artist’s personal and cultural memories of functional spaces and shared experiences of the Caribbean.
