Collection Conversations - Andrew Cross & Hugh Hamshaw Thomas
In April’s installment of our free art talk series, we will be joined by Andrew Cross and Hugh Hamshaw Thomas.
After studying fine art painting at the Bath Academy of Art, Corsham, Andrew Cross worked primarily as an organiser of contemporary art exhibitions and public art projects. More recently he has focused on his own work and academic activities.
Hugh Hamshaw Thomas studied painting at the Bath Academy of Art, Corsham. Bike (Speed of Light) was produced by Hamshaw Thomas during his final year of study. It explored his increasing interest at the time in Taoist ideas about wu wei (a concept of ‘inaction’ or ‘effortless action’), as well as the influence of the conceptual photographic work of Keith Arnett and Bruce McLean.
