Hurvin Anderson - 'It’s questioning my history, my place' | Tate

[@Tate]

In this video, Hurvin Anderson shares a photograph which has inspired his paintings. Are there any photographs which have inspired you to create an artwork?

[@fernandamedina3467]

Most definitely! I use my own photographs in my process as a starting point. Sometimes I mix the background from one with the subject from another. I don't consider using pictures as cheating. If it's part of your creative process there's nothing wrong with it. Thank you for sharing Hurvin Anderson's work. I really enjoyed learning about his thoughts behind his art making.

To me it has to be something taken out of Nan Goldin's Ballad series

[@thenoeseah]

That’s my Uncle🙌🏾😁 great video👌🏾

[@MrWilliamwade]

what’s it like having such an admired relation?

[@thenoeseah]

@@MrWilliamwade Very inspiring, just makes me want work as hard as he did

[@dominicdoyle2895]

Really? He seems like a nice person. Interesting style of work too. I like it

[@valiullah]

His work is honest and genuine. You feel something when you gaze upon it, a mark of a true artist.

[@ypure3859]

I like his delivery. simple, genuine. Too many arts come across self obsessed, pretentious. He doesn't.

[@christinanwabugo9591]

He’s everything! And more. Such a rare soul. He reminds me of an emerald

[@sayub3588]

Great paintings, great artist. Pride of Handsworth and Birmingham. Would love to have shown your work at Handsworth Library, but just too big now. S. Ayub, Library Manager.

Hurvin Anderson speaks so eloquently about his work, and his paintings are phenomenal.

[@iloveworldpeace]

It looks so tempting

[@kray7574]

Thank you Mr Anderson, for sharing your process of creating. I enjoy your choice of color shape and layering of organic and graphic pattern to evoke the emotional connection.

[@deniseg4028]

I've saved this to watch it again, he tells his story beautifully and the work is stunning.

[@roberthartley6900]

That is a brilliant artwork with some added landscapes and colourful backgrounds

[@bertdorrestijn9932]

Love his work.

[@luiscocina3451]

Very beautiful, an admirer from Chile

[@heatherruthstrangeways6662]

Beautiful! This is a save. An extraordinary and original talent. Fascinating experimentations into abstraction. The inclusion of geometric motifs is a master stroke in juxtaposition. Added to my artist research file for uni!

[@KrimsonSeeker]

I like how he explains painting from photo compared to en plain aire

[@neoaureus]

Wonderful.

[@ebbelaurssoerensen3908]

Very interesting, makes me wonder about our social and global ways, our life today. The beauty, the greatness and mystery of it all -

[@christianegonbarnthaler1426]

[@derrickwiley3913]

WOW!!

[@edianapires2461]

What’s the name of the painting that he did on the park

[@elizabethhurtado2829]

🌻🧸💜

[@brunoamaral4759]

Are Hurvin Anderson and Stuart Hall related? In my opinion they look like alike

[@WhiteHippoUSA]

I can't help but laugh when an artist tells you what they're interested in. Dang near every artist seems to do it as a lead in to describe their work. Anyways, not a criticism, just a humorous observation.
