Statement:

My work investigates how color can function as a physical and spatial phenomenon rather than a purely visual one. Using acrylic and tinted resin on acrylic glass, I build layered surfaces that hold and transmit light, creating subtle shifts that unfold over time.

I am interested in the threshold between painting and object, where a work is no longer an image but not fully sculptural. These pieces are not fixed compositions. They depend on movement, light, and duration. As the viewer shifts position, the work reorganizes itself, producing moments of clarity, compression, and ambiguity.

The process is reductive and controlled. Each decision is calibrated to remove excess while preserving intensity. What remains is a concentrated field where color, material, and light operate together, less as representation and more as an experience.

Biography:

Andrew Anderson is an Austin based artist working with acrylic and tinted resin on acrylic panels. His work investigates color as a spatial and material condition, using layered surfaces to produce shifts in light, depth, and perception. Positioned between painting and object, the work changes with movement and duration.

Born in Mexico City and raised between Puerto Rico, Costa Rica, San Antonio, and Houston, he received a BFA in Painting from The University of Texas at Austin. He works as a preparator at the Blanton Museum of Art, where his fabrication practice informs his approach to material and precision.
