"András Nagy-Sándor is an artist based in London. A central theme of the young painter's work is the question of "where does He end and where does the other (object or subject) begin". As an American-Hungarian dual citizen and immigrant in London, hybridity is a key factor for him, relating both to the constellations surrounding the topic of identity and, more importantly, to how we relate to each other and our environment - virtual, real, indirect, artificial and organic. Most recently, he has been fascinated by the growing focus on cyborgs, artificial intelligence, and discourses on mirror neurons, as well as research areas such as embodied sensemaking."
