Andrew Brischler’s work examines the youthful foolishness of his generation’s view of abstraction. |
Andrew Brischler lives and works in New York, NY. A recent graduate of the School of Visual Arts MFA program, his work examines the youthful foolishness of his generation’s view of abstraction. His intentionally ill-conceived canvases explore a sense of futile beauty through a mix of hard-edged geometry, sublime color gradients, and the petulant scrawls of a teenage boy in a notebook’s margins. Elements of popular culture and pop music, the histories of minimalism, abstract expressionism, and arte povera are sampled and mashed up into paintings that challenge this art history as much as embrace it.
