Andy Mister “Vanishing Point”

Hirschl & Adler

This event has ended.

This exhibition of recent drawings by Andy Mister (b. 1979) continues his exploration of the boundary between mechanical and manual reproduction. Working with images appropriated from vintage photographs and deftly mimicking the Xerox-aesthetic of punk zines and album covers, Mister’s drawings question how meaning is created or lost through the act of “copying.” In Vanishing Point, the artist turns his attention away from the overtly political themes of his previous work and toward nature-based photography. Translating the grandeur and natural beauty of a landscape through a tough, dirty, printed aesthetic gives the works in this exhibition an incisive edge, like a conservationist’s message delivered with punk rock urgency.
