Born 1986, London, UK

Lives and works in London.

Andrea Tyrimos graduated in Fine Art from Central St Martins in 2009, and has exhibited extensively since then. She has been mentioned in publications such as ‘Time-Out’ and ‘an magazine’, and has won awards including the ‘Signature Art People’s Choice Painting Award’ and the ‘Art & Escape Award’.
Charles Baudelaire in 1863 called for painters to focus on ‘depicting the fast-changing landscapes of life’, and described such an artist as ‘The Painter of Modern Life’: it is clear that within her varied series of works, capturing such modernity is something that Andrea Tyrimos achieves. Her vibrant, neon paintings represent a nocturnal narrative flow. Some of the pieces are concerned with giving artificial lights physical substance, whilst others present a historical trajectory. The paintings are as much to do with the physical medium of paint itself as the intangibility of the light this medium attempts to reproduce.

Riot police have been deployed in London amid demonstrations before aG8 conference.

About 100 officers were in Soho, central London, where protesters with banners were believed to be occupying a former police station in Beak Street.

The police activity comes after reports of a day of action before the two-day summit in Northern Ireland next week. Police protection of landmark sites across Belfast has been tightened in advance of the conference.

Westminster council’s cabinet member for city management, Ed Argar, said: “Our warden teams will be working with police to manage the streets and we also have clean-up crews on standby.

“Everyone respects the right to legitimate protest and I hope this will be a day without incident. However, businesspeople, shop staff and visitors have the right to go about the West End without intimidation or interference and we will do our best to ensure the centre of London runs smoothly.”

There were reports on Twitter of strong police presences in the Oxford Circus and Regent Street area and Golden Square, close to Beak Street.
