Andrew Guenther

Born 1976 in Illinois, USA


Guenther’s work presents a world of gathered and reshaped articles. He paints using an array of media and casts a wide web of referents, drawing from the banal (album covers, psychedelia, horror flicks, plants, flowers, birds) and art historical touchstones (Milton Avery, Goya, Dokoupil, and Baselitz come to mind).

 

He received his MFA from Mason Gross School for the Arts at Rutgers University in 2000 and has since exhibited domestically and internationally. His work has been featured in, amongst other publications, The New York Times, ArtForum, The New Yorker, and The Wall Street Journal.
