About the Item
From his recent exhibition entitled, Dioramas from Eden, Andrew Jensdotter continues his practice of painting hundreds of layers of iconic pictures of a single subject from a Google image search and then carving through the final amalgamation to create an "original" of his own. What was once representational with a clear focal point becomes a decidedly all-over abstract composition almost archaeological in nature. This laborious and emotional process of erasure synchronizes with the show’s theme – an elaboration on the Garden of Eden and the concept of expulsion from paradise. It derives from a painting called Thistles sold at Untitled Art in Miami in Dec 2021.
The new work is increasingly personal while still plugging into the idea of archetypes. This go-round, the artist focuses on floral landscapes with implicit references to biblical gardens and beauty. The idea of beauty and perfection is willfully cancelled between each of the layers of landscapes which comprise each painting as he covers over each colorful layer with gray or black and begins anew. Painting topics include species that bloom at night, species that are toxic or poisonous, and flowers that bloom in the morning. It is a meditation on coming and going, aspiring to belong after life's many trials, and casting aside unattainable and confining ideas of perfection.

Andrew Jensdotter
Andrew Jensdotter’s paintings and drawings depict the visual static of collective imagery. Mining the glossy pages of magazines and online search queries, the artist transforms sets of related photographic content into physical layers of representational paintings on a single surface. This transfer from dematerialized imagery into physical layers of stacked paint serves as a means to a larger end. Upon building up numerous rendered layers onto a single canvas, the artist eviscerates the thick surface revealing a highly energetic composite made from a chosen subject matter’s accumulated color palette. Where once the eye had a specific subject to focus on, what remains is an all-over composition devoid of any focal point, forcing the eye to either race across its surface or relax into a psychedelic trance. The relationship between additive and subtractive processes, and the disintegration of the specific into the abstract, presents a visual analog for the nature of processing information in the age of mass media. Andrew Jensdotter is a visual artist based in Denver, Colorado. He received his MFA in painting and drawing from the University of Colorado Boulder in 2014. Andrew’s work has been shown in both group and solo exhibitions internationally including Zonamaco with Galeria Hilario Galguera, Untitled in Miami in 2016 – 2018 and 2021, Jackson Hole Fine Art Fair 2019, and PULSE Miami December 2019. Andrew recently had a solo show at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Denver, titled “Flak.” Andrew’s work is featured in prominent collections throughout the USA and abroad, including a recent acquisition by the Denver Art Museum. Jensdotter received a visiting artist fellowship at Anderson Ranch in Snowmass, Colorado in February 2020. In the Spring of 2021, Andrew had a solo show at K Contemporary gallery in Denver, CO.
