Andre@lovemuseum

Andre depicts pop culture in an unconventional approach. He has been designing and painting his artworks since 2000.Andre studied other artists such as Keith Harring, Andy Warhol, David Salle and Jean-Michel Basquiat . His influences in Contemporary Art have also included David Shirgley, Ryan McGinness, Faile, Shepard Fairey, and Takashi Murakami.
Andre's approach and his Pop Art sensibilities have sparked the interest of others. He mixes conventional Pop Art with new mediums such as spray paint, texilac, and acrylic on printed fabric, plastic, and wood.
