In 2007 Andersson became the youngest ever artist to be shortlisted for the BP Portrait Award, winning third prize for his painting Tamara.,[2] which was viewed by over 195,000 people.
[4] Andersson is also a winner of the Jerwood Foundation Contemporary Painters Prize;[5] his winning piece Kate has since sold on the secondary market for "in excess of £40,000" in a deal involving Eugene Tenenbaum.
In July 2011 with Art Below he unveiled an image of the singer on the Northern line at Camden Town just two weeks after Winehouse's death.
One year after Winehouse's death, Art Below reinstalled the image at Camden Town tube station, on Northern line Platform 1.
He has since worked on two other series - paintings from Brand for Life were exhibited in both the Saatchi Gallery and the Royal West of England Academy; whilst Generation of War has led to Andersson collaborating for a short film, which was specially recognised by The Celeste Prize.
