About:
Andrea Krupp is a visual artist whose practice traces ongoing experiential, emotional and intellectual engagement with Earth, the indispensable site of human existence; and Nature, both as a framework for how we experience reality and as the material site of human knowledge and culture. Introspective and articulate, her works employ simple materials and graphic language to open new ways of connecting with nature - a necessary first step to addressing climate change.
She graduated from University of the Arts in Philadelphia and holds a BFA with honors in Printmaking. Her position as rare book Conservator and her expertise in material culture brings historical grounding to her creative practice. In 2017 she was awarded the Independence Foundation Visual Arts Fellowship. In 2018 she was a Ballinglen Arts Foundation Fellow in Ireland, and an Arctic Circle Residency participant. Her works have been exhibited nationally and abroad and have been acquired by Ballinglen Museum of Contemporary Art, Woodmere Art Museum, the Free Library of Philadelphia and several University collections.
Artist Statement:
“I'm a visual artist exploring the boundary between self and other, animate and static. My current project thinks through coal and carbon as connectors to deep time and other things, beings and materials. ”
