Andrea Tregear
Bio
Born in Lima, Peru in 1982. Visual Artist. She has been working with plastic materials since she was 17 years old, becoming recognized for the total development of acrylic / plexiglass as a new form of language.
It is from her studies in architecture, design and sculpture that she develops different forms of creation with plastic material.
She is a processual artist who enjoys the intimate and sensual exploration of the material: Andrea challenges, molds, manipulates and transforms acrylic as if it were her second skin. She gives natural body to a transgressive palette of intense colors that simultaneously possesses a powerful frontality and a clear visual fragility.
The main structure and constant curiosity of her work is light; Her work is composed of multiple layers of memory, color and time, with these elements she builds and orders spaces to give rise to aesthetic silence in the midst of intense chromatic vibrations.
Her work also investigates organic secondary materials such as copper, plants and stones. With this she seeks to generate mutation within the artificial in conjunction with living materials.
The constant need for geometry and order is fundamental for the processes given in the link between individual/environment and object/space. In her set of works “everyday exercises” Andrea starts from the basic forms and builds a correlation of an unconscious city, a configuration of small hanging architectures that explore the relationship between identity and environment. The works become small exercises of perceptual alteration that have the ambition to express phenomena or experiences that are ineffable in everyday life.

They have the ambition to express phenomena or experiences that are, a priori, ineffable in everyday life.
