Born and raised in Greater Boston, Andy Carey demonstrated his artistic sensibilities at an early age. While in high school, Andy became interested in exploring dimensional relationships. A recreation of the Beatles Revolver album cover creates a multi-dimensional impression by layering different parts of the illustration would direct his future work.
In 2001, Andy received his BFA in Graphic Design with Honors from Montserrat College of Art. Andy also began collaborating with a fellow artist in the pursuit of establishing over-layering which led to his first pieces for the Icons Series.
I incorporate wooden discs into my paintings because I am interested in creating recognizable images with the simplest forms while presenting a multi-dimensional illusion from one perspective. It is achieved by utilizing discs of different sizes, thickness or by layering.
In 2003, Andy moved to Los Angeles and continues to expand the visual aesthetics of his work. Andy has taken part in group shows, solo exhibits, and events while working on commissions.
