Andrew Litten is a British artist, born in Aylesbury 1970. Having left art college as a teenager, Litten is a self taught artist and from 1990-1999 he created mostly small-scale works using domestic or found materials (including envelopes and assembled furniture parts). In 2001 he moved to Cornwall and began exhibiting.
Early success came when Litten's work was included in an exhibition titled ‘Nudes’ in New York City, (along with Jacob Epstein and Pierre-Auguste Renoir), where his work was highlighted and reviewed by the New York Times. He has had numerous large-scale solo exhibitions and 'Ordinary Bodies, Ordinary Bones' was conceived with support from The Arts Council, UK. He was also included in ‘No Soul For Sale’ at Tate Modern Turbine Hall, London in 2010.
Works have been included in numerous international curated mixed exhibitions in London, Berlin, Dublin, Siena, Milwaukee and New York City and in Venice during the 54th Biennale. Recently, paintings have been exhibited in four major museums in China. Andrew Litten paintings feature in numerous international private and public collections including the Milwaukee Art Museum, Wisconsin.
Andrew has recently supported Cornwall NHS Suicide Bereavement Service with public outreach at Tate St Ives and has also supported Cornwall Mind Charity. In 2024 he created large bronze casting called 'Listening' for Samaritans Charity.
