About the artist:
Jim Anderson is a multi-media artist living in Cambridgeshire. He divides his time between printmaking, mosaic-making, and painting. His work encompasses many different media and ideas - but use of found or recycled materials is always paramount, and his work is steeped in the satirical and the surreal. He is a member of The Royal Society Of Printmakers; and his work has been awarded prizes in several major exhibitions, including the T N Lawrence Award. Back in the 1990s he was a co-founder of The illustrated Ape magazine; and in 2000 his book Handmade Prints - co-authored with artist Anne Desmet - was published, and remains in use with many printmakers to this day. 2002-2004 found him playing the theremin and providing backing vocals for the rock band Juju Babies, who were band-in-residence for Ibiza's Manumission Club during the summer of 2004. In 2020 he was the winner of an episode of the BBC reality TV program Home Is Where The Art Is.
