New River Fine Art is proud to announce “100% Cotton: New Works by Andrew Cotton,” the debuting solo exhibition by Andrew Cotton. The show will feature the split-portrait portrayals that have gained the artist international recognition along with new text-based works, abstract paintings, collaged surfboards, vintage Americana, gorgeous pinups, Hollywood icons, and coastal beach scenes. The show opens on September 15, 2022 and runs through October 16, 2022.
“100% Cotton: New Works by Andrew Cotton” illuminates a resourceful artist in tune with his own artistic practices. Cotton embraces his coveted family lineage and formulaically calculates the building of his own brand with a narrower and more focused mindset to produce artwork that successfully blends pop culture, nostalgia, friendships, and kinships – a culmination where his authenticity is key for success.
As the title indicates, New River Fine Art explores the genuine and authentic story behind the artist, while showing the au courant of his work. Through the artwork, text, and gallery ephemera, we bear witness to the artist’s rise from an unknown street artist to a highly collected Contemporary fine artist. The curatorial stance briefly touches on the artist’s more formative years after he departs the U.K. to arrive in the United States to sell graffiti-inspired Pop Art on the streets of New York City, before energetically progressing to showcase his current body of work.
“As an artist, I am drawn to the free spirit of America,” says Cotton, describing his decision to move from London to New York City at 24 years old to pursue a full-time art career in the United States.
Andrew Cotton’s artwork has made tangible waves at many renowned art fairs. Previously, his signature aesthetic had caught the eye of rapper and record executive, Jay Z, who would become one of Cotton’s earliest A-List collectors. More high-caliber clients would follow as Cotton developed his mature visual voice as seen in “100% Cotton.”
