Celebrating Andrew Logan

Andrew Logan’s artworks – whether his expansive installations that fill entire rooms, or intimate explorations of form and material in his brooches – have been lovingly created from worthless salvaged materials and found objects, painstakingly recycled and reshaped to conjure out of the ordinary opulence and the everyday.

In creating his brooches, Logan rarely works with a pre-conceived design, instead responding organically and freely to the sources and experiences before him, working with the materials and paraphernalia available to him at that moment in time. Coloured resin is usually applied as the first layer, before a full spectrum of materials are used: mirror, Perspex, coloured glass, beads, found objects, old jewellery parts, junk shop finds, and popular culture paraphernalia are all found in his jewellery designs.

Although Logan’s brooches may look precious, they do not hide their humble origins and aims to be genuinely accessible to all. For Logan, it is paramount that his work eschews any particular view, culture, or idea; instead, all should co-exist, be celebrated equally, and included together. His brooches are consistently rich, multi-layered, and offer an opportunity for boundaries to be dissolved, both in their size, iconography and material.

Andrew Logan has been a part of the history of the New Art Centre for many years, and we are proud to have a splendid selection of his jewellery in the gallery. For more information, or to see the full collection Enquire here.
