Andras Nagy-Sandor is a Hungarian artist based in London, UK. 
 
Andras' practice is predominantly an attempt at unpicking the aspirations and ambivalences within his masculinity. He examines vulnerability, the desire for protection and support, the relationship between technology and the body and experiences of cultural-shock by employing body armour as a symbolic visual device within his work.

For Andras, body armour has become a fluid metaphor that stands in for embodied hybridity and the relationship between the encased body and the external world. The dichotomous relationship between hard and soft, fixed and fluid, structured and chaotic, as emblemised by armour, is at the heart of Andras’ practice. It helps keep balance between representational elements and abstraction that at times folds into pattern Automatic drawings fuel this process, often leading to paintings on canvas, plywood, paper and the wall featuring anthropomorphic, sometimes multiheaded beings that float between cultures and identities.

Through his work, he does not seek to celebrate the concept of armour, instead it becomes a focal point around which to gather personal experiences of vulnerability, a yearning for shelter, and a contextual framework that offers both a limitation and a false boundary to transgress. His works draw on a particular frame of reference including memories of Hungarian folktales told to him by his mother, visuals andnarratives from science fiction, comic books and anime, and a cultural impetus to imbue inanimate objects with rich histories and providences – the idea that everything has a story.
