Bywgraffiad 

Ganwyd André Stitt yn Belfast, Gogledd Iwerddon ym 1958. Astudiodd yng Ngholeg Polytechnig Ulster a Choleg Celf a Dylunio Belffast, Prifysgol Ulster 1976-1980. O 1980-1999 bu'n byw ac yn gweithio yn Llundain yn gynyddol yn teithio ac yn gwneud gwaith yn rhyngwladol trwy gydol yr wythdegau. Yn 1999 symudodd i Gymru i gymryd ei swydd fel Arweinydd Pwnc ac Uwch ddarlithydd Celf Seiliedig ar Amser yn Ysgol Celf a Dylunio Caerdydd, Prifysgol Fetropolitan Caerdydd (UWIC). Ar hyn o bryd mae'n Athro Perfformio a Chelf Ryngddisgyblaethol yn Ysgol Celf a Dylunio Caerdydd, Prifysgol Fetropolitan Caerdydd, cadeirydd CFAR [y Ganolfan Ymchwil Celf Gain], cymrawd o'r Gymdeithas Gelf Frenhinol a'r Academi Addysg Uwch. 

Gan weithio bron yn gyfan gwbl fel artist perfformio a rhyngddisgyblaethol rhwng 1976-2008 enillodd Stitt enw da yn rhyngwladol am waith blaengar, pryfoclyd a heriol yn wleidyddol. Thema amlycaf yn ei allbwn artistig yw cymunedau a'u diddymiad yn aml yn ymwneud â thrawma, gwrthdaro a chelf fel cynnig adbrynu. Mae ei weithiau perfformio a gosod 'byw' wedi'u cyflwyno mewn amgueddfeydd, orielau a safleoedd mawr ledled y byd. 

Mae ei waith arddangos wedi'i gynnwys mewn sioeau grŵp yn PS1, Efrog Newydd 2000, Amgueddfa Albright-Knox, Buffalo, Efrog Newydd 2001, Oriel Ddinesig Crawford, Corc 2001, Oriel Baddonau Ormeau, Belffast 2001, Biennale Fenis 2005, Canolfan Celf Gyfoes Baltig, Lloegr 2005, The Drawing Center, Efrog Newydd, 2006, Canolfan Celf a Diwylliant Bangkok, 2008, NRLA, Glasgow 2008 a 2009, Galerie Lehtinen, Berlin 2011, Oriel St. Paul St., Auckland, Seland Newydd 2011, a Chanolfan Gelf Campbelltown , Sydney, Awstralia 2011, Eisteddfod Genedlaethol Cymru 2012, Gwobr Paentio John Moores ,, Oriel Walker, Lerpwl 2012, Oriel Davies Open, Y Drenewydd, Cymru, 2014, Art of the Eastside, prosiect Billboard, Eastside Arts, Belffast 2014, BEEP Painting Biennale, Abertawe, 2014, Celf Gymraeg Newydd, oriel deg, Caerdydd, 2014, Experimentica, Chapter, Caerdydd 2014, Art of the Troubles, Amgueddfa Ulster, Belffast, 2014, Art of the Troubles, Oriel Gelf Wolverhampton, Lloegr 2015.

Mae gan Stitt hefyd hanes hir o drefnu prosiectau a chydweithrediadau a gychwynnwyd gan artistiaid; curadu arddangosfeydd, a chynhyrchu gwyliau a chyfnewidfeydd celf perfformio rhyngwladol ar raddfa fawr. Yn 2000 agorodd y canlynol: Installaction Artspace yng Nghaerdydd, ac yn ddiweddarach Trace Collective (er 2008), gan gychwyn rhaglen gadarn o waith rhyngwladol wedi'i seilio ar amser. 

Ymchwil gyfredol 

Ar hyn o bryd yn archwilio'r perthnasoedd hanesyddol, damcaniaethol ac ymarferol rhwng paentio, perfformio a chelf gosod. Mae ymchwiliad paentio dan arweiniad ymarfer yn archwilio ac yn ceisio ymchwilio i ofod cyfyngu a allai gael ei ddiffinio fel tyniad amwys a'i berthynas ag amgylcheddau adeiledig - go iawn a rhithwir. Mae hyn hefyd yn ystyried yr amgylchedd gweithio [stiwdio] fel gofod perfformio. Fel arweinydd y grŵp ymchwil Perfformio Paentio yn CSAD mae diddordebau allweddol yn cynnwys: 
· Safbwyntiau hanesyddol a chyfoes ar y berthynas rhwng paentio, celf perfformio a chelf gosod. 
· Olion amgylcheddol, gweddillion a dogfennau tystiolaethol o'r profiad perfformiadol. 
· Stiwdio artistiaid a'r weithred berfformiadol o baentio mewn amgylchedd stiwdio-benodol. 
· Amser a gofod: gwneud penderfyniadau yn ystod eiliadau o wneud a gwneud yn amgylchedd y stiwdio. 
· Deunyddiau ac offer: addasu, darganfod, personoli, dylunio yn / ar gyfer amgylchedd y stiwdio.
