André Fuqua

André Fuqua is an interdisciplinary artist working in drawing, painting, photography, and
sculpture. His extensive training in civil engineering and architecture guides much of his craft. His work is an exploration of the ways that mediums can be composed using innovative practices and technologies to transcend boundaries of art, design, and engineering. Too, his work reveals the context of his own encounters. It is a reflection of his experiences seeing himself being seen and histories regarding visibility, gaze, emergence, and power in relation to his identity as a man of color. André believes that invisibility is a tension of beauty and pain; it exists as a duality of anxiety and desire. Using formal tropes and materiality, he explores ideas surrounding visibility, otherness, identity, and body and their manifestation in social spheres from times past to present day.
