Following a solo show with the gallery this past July, titled Jumping Off a Mountain Sideways, Season 4 Episode 6 is proud to announce the representation of artist Andrew Birk.
The gallery will next exhibit Birk’s work at Feria Material in CDMX, Mexico in February 2025.
About the artist
Andrew approaches painting as a multi-faceted contemporary medium, where materials – always common and accessible in other facets outside of art – are used in an indivisible relationship with the subject matter. Each of his consecutive bodies of work are conceived as specific projects, with their own distinctive logic about context, gesture, and matter. Ranging from the observation of the apparent inconsequential moments of quotidian life, to an exploration of untrained aesthetics, from an almost archival look at urban and digital imagery, to the perception of the body moving through space and the imprint of nature on it. He has recently purchased a chainsaw, and is using it to both clear timber, and prepare new works.
Andrew has exhibited in 27 countries, including solo and group shows in Paris, Berlin, London, New York, Lisbon, Vienna, and widely in Mexico. Recent presentations include Para Mi Hija, Galeria Karen Huber, Mexico City (2020), Ebullicion, Kunstraum am Schauplatz, Vienna (2019), Unsupported Message Format, Galerie Valeria Cetraro, Paris (2019), Dwelling Poetically: Mexico City, A Case Study, Australian Center for Contemporary Art, Melbourne (2018), A Finger Pointing to the Moon, SORT, Vienna (2018), I Am The Body Of A Human, Malta Contemporary Art, Valletta (2017), Callejero, Anonymous Gallery, Mexico City (2016), and TRU AF, Johannes Vogt Gallery, New York City (2015).
Andrew is currently focused on taking care of his baby daughters (4 & 2) and rebuilding an old stone house in the Catalan countryside. His work has been reviewed in publications such as Parnass, Proceso, Reforma, Economista, Terremoto, Flash Art, Artspace, OFLUXO, Tzvetnik, Art Viewer, AQNB, Aujourd’Hui, Vice, I-D, and Huffington Post, among others.
Andrew co-directs Spiritvessel, a hybrid vehicle for contemporary art in Espinavessa, Spain.
