Andrea Marie Breiling’s Emotional, Physically-Charged New Paintings

Breiling’s spontaneous works utilize layers of gestural spray paint to bring to life abstracted forms and images that suggest a highly involved practice. The artist has proposes an optimistic outlook on current circumstances of hardship, both at a personal and worldwide level—seen across paintings like the 2021 Shifting Dunes and Under the Bridge (Downtown), in which vivacious markings in hues of black, white, beige, and pea green cover the surface of the canvas in a seemingly spontaneous lattice.
