From the wilderness of Arizona to the fields of Wisconsin, this fascinating process of abstract painting results in a fresh, beautiful celebration of the American landscape.

Gambrell’s painting practice was colored by formative years spent painting in Miami within a community of abstract painters that included late modern masters such as Jules Olitski and Darby Bannard.

Andy’s contemporary work renews and extends American abstract painting through his use of an eye-tracking viewfinder he developed to create digital drawings of the path his eyes follow while taking in the Wisconsin landscape.

Gambrell studied art at the South Carolina Governor’s School for the Arts, Furman University (SC), the School of Visual Art (NY), and the University of Miami (FL).  He has taught art and design at UWSP (WI), Northern Arizona University (AZ), SCAD-Hong Kong (HK), Furman University (SC), SCAD-Atlanta (GA), Elizabeth City State University (NC), and the University of Miami (FL).

Gambrell’s art has been featured in over ninety exhibitions in the US and abroad.  His works have been presented in (or are in the permanent collections of): Clara Lovett Museum (AZ), Black Mountain College Museum + Art Center (NC), Lowe Art Museum (FL), Center for Visual Communication (FL), MOCA North Miami (FL), Greenville County Museum (SC), Los Angeles Center for Digital Art (CA), Dorsch Gallery (FL), Locust Projects (FL), Wynwood Project Space (FL), Art Center Lincoln Road (FL), Blue Spiral Gallery (NC), Soho House (HK), Red Chamber Gallery (HK), Gallery HZ (HK), Blue Lotus Gallery (HK), and many other venues.  The artist’s works are in private collections in the US, Canada, Colombia, Switzerland, Germany, Hong Kong, and New Zealand.
