Andrew Litten, is an English artist born in 1970 in Aylesbury, UK.[1][2] His paintings have been shown in the United Kingdom, including the Tate Modern in London,[1] China,[3][4][5][6][7], USA[8], Germany[9] and Italy.[10]

Litten attended Amersham College of Art (now Amersham & Wycombe College) in his teens and began higher art education but found it claustrophobic and restricting.[11] Jane Boyer wrote of his work "'Litten was working in minute and small scale in the late 1980’s and early 90’s with the humblest of materials such as note paper, envelopes and biros, to surreptitiously placing works in galleries to combat art elitism (before the Stuckists did this)".[12]

In 2007 Litten had his first major London exhibition with "Dog Breeder" created as an anti-art statement on the absurdity of the contemporary art world and its hierarchies.[13][14]
