Artist Statement
Educational Background
Adina Andrus (born in Bucharest, Romania, currently based in New York) works across various media, creating 2D mixed media pieces, sculptures, drawings and installations that confront questions of memory, belonging, and visual culture across time and space. Her works allude to a shared pool of images that we inherit, consume and are being guided by, while simultaneously interpreting and contributing new meanings. Much of her process is akin to map making --- using found objects, textiles, collage, and ink to create the tension between organic relief shapes and contained, linear borders and passageways.
Andrus studied art at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston and the Art Students League in New York City. She has been exhibiting work in New York and in numerous galleries across the United States, including the St. Louis Artists Guild, El Barrio's Artspace in NY, Woodstock Byrdcliffe Guild and the Delaware Contemporary, as well as in Bucharest, Romania. In 2020 she was a recipient of the Queens Council for the Arts New Work Grant.
