About Me |
|
| Andy Carey is an artist working in Los Angeles. Growing up in Greater Boston, Andy demonstrated his artistic sensibilities at an early age while working in everything from clay to pencil to watercolor to acrylic, creating both 2- and 3-dimensional works. One piece would greatly influence Andy’s current work: a recreation of the Beatles "Revolver" album cover, on foam board, which creates a multi-dimensional impression by layering different parts of the illustration. Attending Montserrat College of Art, where he studied both fine art and graphic design, Andy received his BFA in Graphic Design, graduating with Honors. During his studies, Andy explored layering techniques in fine art as well as graphic design. Ultimately, this study led Andy to his currrent work. Andy completed his first “disc” painting in 2002 titled, Liam (Our Kid). “I incorporate wooden discs into my paintings because I am interested in creating recognizable images with the simplest forms while presenting a multi-dimensional illusion from one perspective. It is achieved by utilizing discs of different sizes, thickness or by layering.” The paintings utilize vivid colors, which orchestrate composition and mood as well as indicate symbolism. Each piece is highly abstract when the viewer is in close proximity and quite recognizable at a distance. Once the viewer is able to visually comprehend the image, it becomes more impressionistic In 2003, Andy moved to Los Angeles and continued to pursue his artwork. He completed a series of portraits that establishes the visual aesthetics he imagines and pursues. Since his move to LA, Andy has taken part in group shows, solo exhibits, and events while working on commissions. www.andycareyart.com Layout Created at KillerKiwi.net |
