Andrew Myers is a Laguna Beach-based artist celebrated for his innovative approach to three-dimensional painting. Born in 1979 in Braunschweig, Germany, and raised in Spain, Myers relocated to the United States at sixteen. He pursued formal art education at the Laguna College of Art and Design, where he focused on figurative sculpture and drawing.
Myers has gained significant recognition for his pioneering use of screws as a primary medium. His meticulous technique involves placing thousands of screws to create textured, intricate images. These works are enhanced with layers of oil paint and mixed media, resulting in art that is both tactile and visually compelling. This innovative method blends painting and sculpture, offering viewers a multidimensional experience.
This exhibition presents a comprehensive survey of Myers' oeuvre, chronicling over two decades of his artistic journey. It is the most extensive presentation of his work to date, celebrating his commitment to pushing artistic boundaries and redefining the possibilities of contemporary art.
