New York based artist Andrew Zimmerman (b. 1968 New Brunswick, NJ) studied painting at the Rhode Island School of Design and Industrial Design at the California College of the Arts. In 2019, he attended the MacDowell Colony Artist Residency. He is a recipient of a 2024 New Jersey State Council on the Arts Fellowship and a 2018 Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant.
Andrew’s colourful geometric wall reliefs explore the intersection between painting and sculpture. Focusing on this dialogue Andrew explores, in his own words, the parallel poles of “of art and design, of the hand-made and the mass-produced” and the tension that arises between the two. Andrew’s sculptures seek to create moments of unexpected discovery within a language of reconstructable forms.
“For much of my career, I have been exploring materials that stand outside traditional art making and address ideas of interchangeability and mass production. Most recently I’ve been utilising automotive paint and wood. When fabricating my work I use hand held tools that create subtle variations in line that amplify the unique hand of the artist. In this way, I am repurposing commercial systems for singular modes of expression.” (Andrew Zimmerman)
Public collections of Andrew’s works include the Fidelity Investment Corporation, Boston, MA, Weill Cornell Medical Center, New York, NY and Alliance Bernstein LLP, New York, NY.
His works have been exhibited widely throughout the United States and Europe, including the Virginia Museum of Contemporary Art, Virginia Beach, VA, The Drawing Center, New York, NY, Schneider Museum of Art, Southern Oregon University, Ashland, OR, The Korn Gallery, Drew University, Madison, NJ, and Galleria Guido Carbone, Torino, Italy.
On Thursday, November 10, 2022 the Schneider Museum of Art held a virtual Creative Industries Discussion with Artist Andrew Zimmerman.
