Andrew Hornberger

My work seeks to touch the observer, asking them to remember a time and place that is at once both memory and dream. I ask the viewer to see something out of the corner of their eye, turn around, and take a long look at it.

I populate little mysterious zones where reality bumps up against absurdity with my own imagery, rooted in my childhood experiences and symbolism.

My unique perspective on the world, long-standing interest in ephemera, and love of small antique items inspire me. My work is quirky, enigmatic, delicate, poetic, and funny with earnest intention.
I am a New York-based artist, retired educator, and former arts council president with an MFA from SAIC, a BFA from Tyler School of Art, and study abroad with the Glasgow School of Art. I was the cover artist for the Queens Review Literary Journal. Honors include Critics' recommendations from Vermont Studio Center and Yale Norfolk. Exhibitions in New York, Chicago, and Philadelphia.
