Andy Bullock
Andy Bullock was born in east London 1962.
He studied at art school in Cornwall. In 1981 he returned to London and
pursued a career as an art director in advertising agencies, culminating
in a couple of years at world-renowned Saatchi and Saatchi. Becoming
increasingly disenchanted with this work he made a life-changing decision
in 1990 and side-stepped into an ultimately more creatively fulfilling role
as a photographer/artist. His early work was heavily rooted in the tradition
of European reportage with very knowing nods in the direction of Cartier-
Bresson and Andre Kertesz. However his more recent work has seen him
move into a more conceptual arena and although it is still resolutely
photographic in origin it can often contain text as part of the overall image.
He has had work exhibited at The National Portrait Gallery, London and
has a large (10ft x 8ft) piece (Christ Image 2000) in the permanent collection
of St Pauls Cathedral, London. Bullock's work can currently be seen in
an exhibition ('DISCO verme') at Bluu Bar, One hoxton Square, London, N1.
He enjoys fly fishing for trout and is a gentleman motorcyclist.
