Succumb: A New Collection of Paintings by Andrew Young begins this Thursday, January 12th at Catalog Gallery, and will run through January 29th.

Andrew Young is a Vancouver-based painter, just recently returned to his home town from the 2011 Miami Art Basel. His hyper-real works currently address lost and found adolescence.

'Spontaneous in some parts and carefully designed in others; my explorative compositions are the backbone to the figurative rendering. The result is sporadic abstraction paired with hyper-realism. My technical focus is to illuminate subjects with areas of saturated clarity, while obscuring them with textures of the known and discovered. The work blends the authentic with the abstract in order to form a relationship between the figure and the intangible — between order and chaos.'
