Andrea Christodoulides, Queen Margharita running (2019), acrylic on canvas [Detail]

 
 

Andrea Christodoulides (b. 1994, Nicosia, Cyprus) holds a BA in Painting from Edinburgh College of Art (2017) and an MA in Painting from the Royal College of Art (2019). Her work has appeared in a number of group shows, including Vagueness of Heart (Saltspace Gallery, Glasgow, 2021), Hastings Open (Hastings Museum & Art Gallery, East Sussex, 2022) and ‘Taster’ (Coups Contemporary, London, 2023).

Christodoulides uses painting as an expanded medium to explore the relationship between material, surface, and space, often creating sculptural works with standalone elements. Her paintings feature fictional characters from her childhood fantasies navigating the realities of growing up, reflecting on societal expectations and anxieties around gender roles. Her raw personal emotions are expressed through the unrefined appearance of her canvases and textiles.
