San Francisco native Andrew Bixler (b. 1981) is a studio artist at Creativity Explored, the premier non profit visual arts center for artists with developmental disabilities. Bixler creates sculptures, drawings, and digital prints of characters, animals, and everyday objects.
His direct statements of fact turn the outrageous in to the everyday, as Vikings, tree surgeons, magicians, the famous and the infamous all make an appearance. Bixler’s line is free flowing yet assured, and his palette is spare but energetic, seen most often in his portraits and his drawings of groups of objects (coffee cups, lemons, sunglasses) situated against a plain background. Bixler’s practice is split between drawing and sculpture. His ceramic pieces are loosely worked. Animals, people, and everyday objects are marked by expressive proportions and dynamic energy. A man of many talents, he also plays the piano and clarinet. |
