Michael Ricardo Andreev
At three months old Michael Ricardo Andreev moved to
Jamaica where he lived sixteen years before returning to New
York City, surrounded by flora, fauna, green grass, green
birds and blue mountain peaks; and this experience helped
shape not only his views on the world of people, but also on
the world of space, texture, color and composition. His more
erudite influences include Anselm Kiefer, Robert Motherwell,
Gerdhard Richter, Franz Klein, each of whom in their way
sought the common ground between western-style
intellectualism and eastern-style spiritualism, as well as the
intersection of abstraction and representation in painting, all
salient issues for Andreev. Andreev's works have been
received by actress Susan Sarandon, Billy Corgan (Smashing
Pumpkins), and Michael Stipe (REM), along with work shown
at the Whitney Museum and collected by the Library of
Congress.
