Artwork details

Artist: Andrew Cranston
Title: The Fall Guy
Description: Lithograph with screenprint

Often depicting narrative vignettes drawn from his own personal history, or literary and anecdotal sources, Andrew Cranston’s work is consistently concerned with narrative and storytelling. Incorporating varnish and collage onto his paintings, Cranston enacts a layered referentiality with an often surreal, deadpan sense of humour.

Working mostly as a painter, Cranston is interested in lithography for its proximity to drawing. The crayons, used to draw on the lithographic stones, are a reminder, for Cranston, of the spontaneity of childhood and a more liberating way of making pictures.

This print is part of The Music Hall suite, specially commissioned by Aberdeen Performing Arts to commemorate the re-opening of the newly refurbished Music Hall in Aberdeen.
