Andrew Salgado’s paintings depict the correlation between masculinity and the medium, exploring the manner in which they abort theirliteral figurative foundation and commence a vibrant dialog with the viewer through “color,reduction of forms, and triumph of substanceas imbued with meaning and metaphor, overt, and suggestive.”
His work reduces theliteralness, revealing a process of discovery through its own languageof painting and representation.
Andrew Salgado was born in 1982, in Canada, and holds an MFA from London’s Chelsea College of Art (2009) and a BFA from the University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada (2005). He has exhibited in London, Berlin, Oslo, Sydney, Vancouver, Toronto, Merida (Venezuela), Niamey (Niger), Chiang Mai (Thailand), and Busan (Korea).
