B. 1987 Long Island, NY
Lives and works in Brooklyn, NY
Andrew Brischler (b. 1987, Long Island, NY; lives and works in Brooklyn, NY) makes paintings and drawings that examine his own queer identity through the lens of American popular culture. With an art practice firmly grounded in drawing, Brischler is best known for creating graphically bold work that investigates how our cultural consumption is inherently linked to our autobiographies. After sifting through his vast library of source material ranging from vintage movie posters to pulp fiction book covers, Brischler laboriously reinterprets this imagery by hand. Whether he's appropriating often unsettling typography or stylizing horror heroines with a Warholian patina, Brischler is always trying to locate himself within our complicated cultural canon. His approach is one that relishes in the outsize influence that media and pop culture have on our visual landscape and psyche.
He holds an MFA from the School of Visual Arts, New York, NY and a BFA from the State University of New York, New Paltz, New Paltz, NY. He was the recipient of the New York Foundation for the Arts (NYFA) Painting Fellowship in 2015 and the Rema Hort Mann Foundation Visual Arts Grant in 2013. He has had solo exhibitions with GAVLAK Palm Beach (2019; 2013; 2012) and GAVLAK Los Angeles (2021; 2017; 2015); at The Fireplace Project, East Hampton, NY; at The Arts Club, London; and at 39 Great Jones, New York, NY. His work has been included in group exhibitions at The Bunker Artspace: The Beth Rudin DeWoody Collection, West Palm Beach, FL; the FLAG Art Foundation, New York, NY; Contemporary Arts Museum, Houston, TX; Nathalie Karg Gallery, New York, NY; Feuer/Mesler, New York, NY; and Galerie Eva Presenhuber, Zurich. Andrew Brischler is represented by GAVLAK in Los Angeles, CA, and Palm Beach, FL.
On Saturday, June 22, Keyes Gallery at The American Hotel in Sag Harbor opens “Boyz Keep Swinging,” a group exhibition curated by artist Maynard Monrow. With its title taken from David Bowie’s “Boys Keep Swinging,” the exhibition plays out in carefree spirit, emulating summer queer culture in The Hamptons.

If you’ve even been to a dinner party with great food and even better conversation, you’ll know what it’s like to visit “Flaming June VII: Flaming Creatures” at Gavlak in Los Angeles. The exhibition of 34 pieces by 27 artists mixes art of all shapes and stripes to form a freewheeling feast. Lively back-and-forths take on lives of their own as they inspire, challenge and satisfy — often deeply and dramatically.
