1965–
Gordon Anderson (1965– ) is a Canadian artist. He lives and works in Hamilton, Ontario. Anderson often works with minimalist photographs surrounded by monochromatic grounds to illustrate the stark and stoic urban environment.
Anderson graduated from the Ontario College of Art in 1989. His work is rooted in the tradition of reductive formalism. In this most recent body of work, Anderson has inserted his imagery amongst large fields of corrugated sheet metal, some of which has been found and appropriated with its natural rusted patina and others utilize new corrugated metal, painted with exotic car paint. Anderson believes that metal finishes will enhance the dynamics of the material and the harmonic imagery subjects.
Anderson has been active since his graduation; he has had numerous solo and group exhibitions throughout his career.
The Christopher Cutts Gallery has represented Anderson since 1998.
