Andrea Sulzer’s paintings are profound.

Her most recent work is a master class in Sulzer-ease. Each piece exudes a palpable confidence and calm. Her palette is bold, nuanced and stunningly integrated with a deft balance of hard and soft. Driven by a sense of discovery and wonder, these works invite the viewer in to awe.

In a recent conversation, Sulzer said, “Painting always seemed so limitless to me, whereas paper has a finite workability. So much of my process is about trying to find limits for myself. I love taking something that feels so open and having it pull itself together. I need to find delight in what I’m doing. A need for discovery drives the work, as well as a sense of freedom, surprise, and wonder.”

Artist Statement

From my studio overlooking the Androscoggin River in Maine, I make drawings, prints, and paintings. Sometimes these morph into objects.

A desire to build a history with material, form and ideas, alongside a determination to maintain an openness and freedom within this search, drives my work. It’s a constant pull between building a foundation and dismantling it, always trying to get closer to finding the underlying impulse for making things.
