    Description

    Her Lonely Obsession is part of the Extraordinary Ladder project. A new remote collaboration between friends Andrew Weir and Tommy Perman that was started in the late spring of 2020. This unique artwork was created using a combination of digital and analogue techniques. The digital print on canvas has been worked on by hand (by Andrew Weir) using acrylic paints, Oil Pastel, Spray Paint and Pencil. This is a unique, one of a kind, artwork. The pair first met while studying at art school in Scotland where they discovered shared interests in literature, art, design, music and beer. After graduating in the early 2000s their lives diverged. Andrew spent over a decade living in Japan teaching at universities. In 2016 he and his wife left Japan for Germany, where he has pursued his career as a full-time painter.

    Concept

    Weir's approach to painting has been influenced by the countries he has lived in - Scotland, The Netherlands, Japan, Hungary, & Germany. Since 2005 he has lived in countries where English was not the first language. The experience of living in cities where he (initially) couldn't understand the written or spoken word is reflected in his artwork through the imagery used. Weir enjoys creating an interplay between recognizable and abstract forms. The familiar and the foreign. He is fascinated with the relationship between symbols (e.g. language and mythological symbolism) and the variety of meanings they contain. These communicative systems that we create, modify, and discard have an ephemeral nature. Individual words lose their original meanings and change, and may hold different meanings depending on the user. Whole languages are lost, discovered, and created. Symbols which were once taboo or progressive become irrelevant. These conflicting and transient ideas are a point of confusion, humor and happiness for him. Weir's artworks are a way to share these feelings through a collage of paint layers, motifs, found objects, and text.
