ANDY PANKHURST

British painter Andy Pankhurst was born in Dorset in 1968 and trained at the Bournemouth and Poole College of Art
(1984-86) and then at the Slade School of Fine Art (1986-92). Whilst still at the Slade he won the first prize at the
Winsor and Newton Young Artists’ Award, and was given various scholarships and awards in the proceeding years.
From 1997 to 2005 Pankhurst was a part-time lecturer at the Slade, and recently now a visiting tutor teaching life
drawing alongside other part-time teaching at The Royal Drawing School, The Royal Academy and lecturing for The
National Portrait Gallery up to its temporary closure until Spring 2023.

Pankhurst’s work is represented in various public, corporate and private collections and museums in the UK and
USA. He currently exhibits with Browse and Darby in London, with his most recent show of paintings within a joint
