Andersen Woof

Andersen Woof (b. 1989) is a Chinese American painter who lives and works in Baltimore, Maryland. Originally trained in landscape architecture (RISD), Andersen constantly looks for ambiguous narratives that reflect the complexities of humanity through the lens of his own queer and immigrant life. His work has been exhibited at Semiose Gallery (Paris, France), 1969 Gallery (New York, NY), Fortnight Institute (New York, NY), CPM Gallery (Baltimore, MD), Vardan Gallery (Los Angeles, CA), Acappella Gallery (Naples, Italy), and more. Andersen is a grant finalist of the Hopper Prize, two-time semifinalist of the Janet & Walter Sondheim Art Prize, and his work has been featured in New American Paintings, Platform (by David Zwirner Gallery), Art Verge, Art Viewer, ArtMaze Magazine, Booooooom, Connaissance des Arts, The Steidz, Baltimore Fishbowl, The AIDS Memorial, and Mepaintsme, among others. He is a recipient of the Pollock-Krasner Foundation Fellowship for his artist residency at the Vermont Studio Center (Johnson, VT).
