Andrew Pierre Hart’s He So Blue reflects the artist’s exploration of the connections between sound and painting. Drawing from his background as a DJ and founder of the electronic music label Deepart, Hart integrates musical techniques like improvisation and ‘rhythmic research’ into his multidisciplinary practice. He So Blue was part of Hart’s 2024 Whitechapel Gallery commission, ‘Bio-Data Flows & Other Rhythms – A Local Story’. The painting combines Hart's signature geometric patterns with art-historical influences, engaging with the nighttime cultures and rhythms of Whitechapel.
