Bio
ANDREA TREGEAR (Lima, Peru 1982)
Visual Artist. She has worked with plastic materials for 20 years, achieving recognition for her comprehensive development of acrylic/Plexiglas, thus generating new forms of artistic language.
Her studies in architecture, design, and sculpture have led her to develop different creative approaches. She is a process-oriented artist who enjoys the intimate exploration of the material: Andrea challenges, molds, manipulates, and transforms acrylic as if it were her second skin.
She gives a natural form to a transgressive palette of intense colors that simultaneously possesses a powerful frontality and a clear visual fragility. The main structure and constant focus of her work is light; her work is composed of multiple layers of memory, color, and time. With these elements, she constructs and orders spaces to give rise to aesthetic silence amidst intense chromatic vibrations. She also simultaneously investigates secondary materials such as marine plastics, vegetation, paint, and stone. With this, he seeks to generate mutation within the artificial in conjunction with living materials.
Tregear has exhibited in galleries and art fairs both in his country and abroad, and has participated in group exhibitions in Peru, Ecuador, Argentina, Mexico, the USA, and Spain.
Statement
Andrea Tregear
Matías Helbig (Buenos Aires, Argentina) comments on her proposal: “…it is an essay on light through color and the correlation of an unconscious city. Andrea proposes the configuration of small, hanging architectural structures that explore the link between consciousness, identity, and environment.
Through the implementation of basic geometric forms and the superimposition of planes, the works become small exercises in perceptual alteration that aspire to express phenomena or experiences that are ineffable in everyday life…”
