Description
Andrew Lanyon is a painter, publisher, author, and film-maker. Born in St. Ives in 1947, he was brought up in West Cornwall where photography was his interest from an early age. From 1966 - 1968 he studied at the London School of Film Technique; during this time Andrew organised the Durham Surrealist Festival and produced their catalogue. He then spent several years as a freelance photographer, at the same time, co-producing the Casual Eye, an exhibition about snapshots for Northern Arts.
In 1976 He constructed The Rooks of Trelawne - a major touring exhibition for the Photographers Gallery (London), accompanied by a book. The exhibition is still housed in the St. Ives Museum. This was followed by another book and touring exhibition, The Vanishing Cabinet.
By this time Andrew had been painting for several years and started to have solo exhibitions in London and provinces. He now has paintings in both the British Council and Contemporary Art Society collections.
