Eickholt Gallery :: Michael Ricardo Andreev

Michael Ricardo Andreev was born 1963 in New York. But at the tender age of three months old he moved from Jamaica to live with his extended family, surrounded by flora, fauna, green grass, green birds and blue mountain peaks. It taught him the ways of the world and helped him in developing of his grasp of space texture color and composition. This aided him in creating his own vision of empire.

How would you describe your style?
The anatomy of form and spirit infused with vague perceptions of space. This is my reality.

How do you interpret your work?

Conscious movements buy once still subconscious emerges in increments ten fold giving way to victorious visions of a now numb conscious state. Symbols at times become ambassadors of a soon to come dialect which will eventually be visually and physically digested creating a complex compost carpeting available surfaces. It's result a clear and distinct harmony.

Who are your most important artistic influences?
Amsel Kiefer, Robert Motherwell, Gerhard Richter, Franz Klein.
