Andy Lomas (born 1967 in Welwyn Garden City, England^[4]) is a British artist with a mathematical background, formerly a television and film CG supervisor and more recently a contemporary digital artist,^[5] with a special interest in morphogenesis using mathematical morphology.^[6]

Lomas previously worked on visual effects using computer graphics (CGI) for television and films such as The Matrix Reloaded (2003), The Matrix Revolutions (2003) and Avatar (2009).^[7] before becoming a digital artist. In 2006 he appeared in The Tech of 'Over the Hedge', a short documentary.^[8] With his collaborators, in 1999 Lomas won the 51st Primetime Emmy Awards Outstanding Special Visual Effects for a Miniseries or a Movie for the 1999 film Alice in Wonderland.

Lomas's works are displayed in the form of videos, still images, and sculptures, produced using a mathematical programming approach. Some works include collaborative music, by Max Cooper for example.^[9] His artworks are inspired by the work of Ernst Haeckel, D'Arcy Thompson, and Alan Turing.^[6]^[10]

Lomas won the 2014 international Lumen Prize Gold Award for digital art, the top category.^[2] He has exhibited at the Butler Institute of American Art (Youngstown, Ohio, USA), the Computing Commons Art Gallery (Arizona State University), the Los Angeles Center for Digital Art, and SIGGRAPH.^[5]

In June–July 2016, Lomas held a solo exhibition of his work at the Watermans Arts Centre in west London,^[3] which has been acquired by the Victoria and Albert Museum for its collection.^[11] His work is also held in the D'Arcy Thompson Zoology Museum art collection at the University of Dundee in Scotland, funded by the UK Art Fund.^[12] In 2019, he contributed a chapter to the book Museums and Digital Culture.^[13]

By way of summarizing his technique, Lomas counts himself among those who have entered into a "hybrid" relationship with the computer, wherein the latter is used to quickly generate a series of visual images based on an original idea or algorithm.^[14]
