Andrew Jensdotter is a painter and multimedia artist whose large-scale works critique American culture and its post-industrial, consumer-driven landscape. Utilizing found materials and bold colors, Jensdotter's practice involves a process of accumulation and excavation that reveals core truths about human existence. His acclaimed “carved paintings” comprise over 100 layers of painted images sourced from Google image searches, meticulously carved to expose fragments of the layers beneath. The result is raw, abstract color fields that evoke the visual static of collective memory, forming a unique, composite image of its own. The final painting follows the course of art history, moving from representational to abstract and creating a visual analog for the processing of information in the age of mass media. Jensdotter is based in Denver, Colorado and Taos, NM. He earned his MFA in painting and drawing from the University of Colorado, Boulder in 2014 and received a visiting artist fellowship at Anderson Ranch in Snowmass, Colorado in February 2020. His work has been shown in both group and solo exhibitions internationally including Untitled Art in Miami 2016 – 2018 and 2021, PULSE Miami December 2019, Intersect Aspen, and Zonamaco with Galeria Hilario Galguera. In 2019, Andrew had a solo show at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Denver, entitled “Flak” and had his first solo show at K Contemporary in Spring 2021. Andrew’s work is featured in prominent collections throughout the USA and abroad, including the Denver Art Museum.
