About andrewsalgado:
ANDREW JOHANN SALGADO, b. 1982.
Andrew grew up in Regina, Saskatchewan, and graduated in 2005 from the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, with an Honors degree in painting and art theory, and a minor in film studies.
Andrew currently focuses his work on large scale, obsessively detailed acrylic paintings and pencil drawings. Since 2000, his art has been featured in public and private exhibitions and collections throughout North America, including the United States and Mexico, earning him a reputation as one of Canada’s most promising young artists.
His work engages many themes and concerns: analyzing mass-media culture and appropriating ‘pop’-iconicity, to elevating the banal and challenging conventionally held ideas of aestheticism. His ever-changing style is diverse and unique, yet strikingly recognizable, and his subject matter explores his relationship to aspects that are at once personal and universal.
In December, 2005, he was the sole painter selected to represent Canada in the internationally renowned Francophonie Games, held in Niger, Africa.

Just visiting again to admire your work and favor The Narcissist. It's a marvelous painting, but, then, all of your portraits are original and seductive. They pull you in. Look forward to more. Chris

yeah, well, bright minds think alike :D about your latest works, I've been having this idea in mind to make a show called The memories of the flesh, but I couldn't do it yet cause I was caught up with my bachelor degree project(http://tzigan.page.tl/The-immigrant.htm). well, I have a different approach to it but I really like what you've done with this idea. The feeling of it all just yells out something very close to Genius, as in A Clockwork Orange kind of a genius. Congratulations and keep up the great work. cheers, m8!

Thanks Andrew for your comments. And I am just fascinated with your work. I keep coming back to it. Do you have any close-ups of the details in "Animal (Calle51)" for example. I would love to know what all that writing says - and see more of the little pictures. Wishing you much continued success. Ali

Hello Andrew Thanks for visit and kind comment (Cy twombly is one of my favourite artist....hope I am not to influenced by him!), I have enjoyed exploring your pictures. "Painting,as any creation, will exist as long as the conception will exceed the realization, the written expression or other one of the abstract remains even lower than its thought . " . <img src="http://canvas.free.fr/2007-205.JPG"/> Ciao, ALSICAN .
