Andrew Holmquist creates hyperreal landscapes crafted from both his imagination and personal memories. He uses imagery from his daily life to create paintings that are of this world as well as from an imagined utopia. Through his active brushwork, these artworks become containers for passing moments of domestic bliss, and, like eruptions, Holmquist's fleeting moments often overflow with innumerable details.

Andrew Holmquist was born in 1985 and currently lives in Los Angeles, CA. Andrew Holmquist received his MFA (2014) and BFA (2008) from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Chicago, IL.

He has a forthcoming solo presentation slated for the Spring of 2024 at Galería Karen Huber, Mexico City, Mexico.
