Katrina Andry (born 1981) is an American visual artist and printmaker. She is based in New Orleans, Louisiana.
Katrina Andry was born in New Orleans, Louisiana. Andry first studied graphic design at Louisiana State University and received her BFA in 2004. [1] [ better source needed ] She then studied printmaking at Louisiana State University (LSU) in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and received her MFA degree in 2010. [2] [ self-published source? ] While at school, Andry was inspired by artists such as Adrian Piper. [3]
Andry has worked in New Orleans, as well as at Xavier University in Ohio.[ citation needed ] She uses color-reduction wood cut prints in small and large-scale prints. Some of her prints are almost five feet long in order to expose the view to degrading clichés. Andry's works never contain a specific person, but more of an ideal of certain groups of people. [4] Her work is featured in multiple publications such as, New American Paintings, edition 118, Art in Print, and The Saratoga Collection. [5] [6]
Andry's work explores the negative effects stereotypes have on people of color.[ citation needed ] She is known for her large-scale, full-color woodblock prints. Her works feature white subjects in blackface, depicting negative cliches and caricatures of black culture. Through these depictions, Andry explores how stereotypes are perpetuated to benefit a majority while disenfranchising other groups of people. [7] [8] Andry challenges the majority social norms and questions how these norms affect how individuals see one another. She also uses non-people-of-color in her work to portray more than black culture. However, when Andry's works are seen as black culture, the stereotype-norms are emphasized. She typically uses white men to symbolize authority over people of color stereotypes. [9] Andry shows this visually in her work by practicing large-scale color reduction in woodcut prints. [1]

Russ Warren is a contemporary figurative painter who has exhibited extensively throughout the U.S. and abroad, notably in the 1981 Whitney Biennial and the 1984 Venice Biennale. A painter in the Neo-Expressionist style, he has drawn inspiration from Spanish masters such as Velázquez, Goya and Picasso, as well as from Mexican folk art and the American southwest. Committed to his own Regionalist style during his formative years in Texas and New Mexico, he was picked up by Phyllis Kind in 1981. During those years he transitioned to a style characterized by "magical realism", and his work came to rely on symbol allegory, and unusual shifts in scale. Throughout his career, his paintings and prints have featured flat figures, jagged shadows, and semi-autobiographical content. His oil paintings layer paint, often incorporate collage, and usually contain either figures or horses juxtaposed in strange tableaux.
