Andrew Harding (b. 1995) is a project-based artist whose work explores hybridity through the sculptural form. Through the combination of found imagery and fabricated forms, Andrew’s works present as critical and curious. Based in Toronto, he received his MFA from York University (2022) and BFA from OCAD University (2017). Harding is the recipient of awards and grants from the Ontario Art Council and SSHRC and has exhibited his art in solo and group exhibitions in Toronto, Canada, and upcoming in Chicago, USA (2024) and Bowmanville, Canada (2025).
