Andrew Salgado
Although humorous and vibrant, Andrew’s work is as polemical as it is tongue in cheek. Salgado transforms the banal and commonplace into analytical, contemporary allegories. His portraits of friends and acquaintances are elevated to a new level, charged with sentimentality as well as critical, underlying meanings. His subject matter is at once personal and universal, subverting traditional portraiture and challenging ideas of youth and beauty with a distinctly un-romantic approach. Salgado’s constantly changing style borrows from contemporary figrurative work and abstraction, and concerns itself with the process of creating meaning and narrative through technique and the deconstruction of an image. Andrew has been accepted to do a Masters program at the internationally renowned Chelsea College of Art in London, where he will graduate in 2009. Andrew currently lives and works in Vancouver, BC.
