Andras Nagy-Sandor (1993) is a Hungarian artist based in London, UK. Andras' practice is predominantly an attempt at unpicking the aspirations and ambivalences within his masculinity. He examines belonging, vulnerability, the desire for protection and support, the relationship between technology and the body and experiences of cultural-shock by employing body armour, abstraction and folkloric elements within his work.
