介绍

Andrew Sendor (b. 1977, New York, NY) Sendor is most recognized for his extraordinary facility in representational painting that serves to illuminate his ongoing engagement with the power of the imagination. The artist introduces us to fictional characters in storylines whose genesis derives from a unique creative process: Sendor scripts, produces, directs, and documents performances recounting the life and times of his eccentric cast. Representing scenes from these psychologically charged, hallucinatory narratives, each meticulously rendered artwork surveys the materiality of images and the interrelated history of photorealism and evolution of photography. Sendor builds monochromatic compositions using acute pictorial focus along with disrupted visual motifs, and situates the works in artist’s frames whose physicality elevates the painted imagery — and which together comprise an idiosyncratic language of painting.

 

Sendor’s works have been included in numerous museum exhibitions, including the Nassau County Museum of Art, NY; Funen Art Museum, Odense, Denmark; Hudson Valley MOCA, Peekskill, NY; Knoxville Museum of Art, Knoxville, TN; Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art, Kansas City, MO; and the ARKEN Museum of Art, Ishøj, Denmark. Private and public collections owning his work include The Broad Art Museum MSU; The Morgan Library & Museum, New York; Hall Art Foundation, US and Germany; Rubell Museum, Miami; Museum of Contemporary Art Jacksonville; and Zabludowicz Art Trust, London, U.K. 

 

In 2016, the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum MSU held a solo survey of Sendor’s work in the exhibition ANDREW SENDOR Paintings, Drawings and a Film, which was accompanied by a catalogue featuring an essay by Caítlin Doherty. In 2019, Sendor was featured in a two-person exhibition with fellow painter, Ali Banisadr, at Museum of Contemporary Art, Jacksonville, FL. Recently, Sendor’s works have been included in group exhibitions at: David Zwirner, NY, François Ghebaly, LA, Simon Lee, London, and Sperone Westwater, NY.
