Artist Statement


Andrew Agutos takes a poetic approach between abstract and figurative, non-chronologically creating series of paintings that capture the energy and essence of the moment, experience, etc. The result is a visual/written library: depths of human emotion, snapshots of cool, connecting the dots between dreams, design, desire, cities, love, luxury.

Unbound by a distinct style, Andrew’s paintings are blended together by the language of color with nods to art history, the internet, rap music and fashion. Having an affinity for iconic imagery, he has designed and photographed for several fashion brands and figuresβ€”work that directly informs and relates back to his painting.
