Born in 1951, Andrea Belag lives and works in New York City and Far Rockaway, Queens. With clear and pigmented brushstrokes, the artist offers viewers a glimpse into how color simultaneously commands, transforms, and highlights the materiality of each piece and its subjects. She attended Boston University, Bard College, and The New York Studio School of Drawing, Painting & Sculpture. Belag’s paintings and works on paper have been widely exhibited and collected throughout the US and internationally, including Public Collections in the United States Embassy in Saudi Arabia, MTA Arts & Design Permanent Collection, Avenue U Station in Brooklyn, Hudson Valley Center for Contemporary Art, Jewish Museum in New York, Newark Museum in New Jersey, New Jersey State Museum in Trenton, New Jersey, Mead Museum at Amherst College in Amherst Massachusetts, and Sprengel Museum in Hanover, Germany.
