Artist

Ashley Bickerton

1959 , American

Ashley Bickerton is a contemporary artist known for his mixed media sculptures and installations that explore themes of consumerism, ecology and cultural identity. Born in Barbados and raised in Indonesia, Bickerton's diverse cultural background has had a significant influence on his art. In the 1980s, he was associated with the "Neo-Geo" movement, which sought to critique the commodification of art through the use of industrial materials, imitating a slick, corporate aesthetic. In his multimedia installations, Bickerton incorporates photographic and painterly elements alongside found objects and mass-produced items, such as car parts and consumer electronics, to comment on the excesses of modern society. References to photorealism and surrealism surface in his paintings and drawings as he examines the ways in which contemporary society has disrupted natural environments whilst simultaneously harming our relationship with the natural world. ...
