Detail of Nocturne, Artist: Andrew Binder, 2024
Nocturne was started almost a year ago, with a different concept and a completely different color palette. It was abandoned for awhile as my attention was diverted to other pieces and ideas. When I returned to it, I immediately started changing it to fit my current mood and direction; building upon the foundation of what was done previously. I began to change the palette to reflect a much darker, cooler feeling. I began to paint it differently as well in a manner that I am beginning to think of as my “New Expressive Style”. The end result, is an amalgam of the past and present, of older and newer developing techniques. A transitional work, that has one foot in what was, and the other in what is to come.
I am honored to have my to artworks “Deconstructed Head in Pink, Red, and Blue”, “Portrait Study in Blue 3.03.23”, “Dissonant Harmony in Pink and Cyan” and “Portrait Study 8.18.23” featured in Artist Portfolio Magazine Issue 53 and to have “Portrait Study in Blue 3.03.23” featured on the back cover.

Detail of Disrupted Portrait Study 8.24.23, Artist: Andrew Binder, 2023
Disrupted Portrait Study 8.24.23 was intended to be a quick, free-flowing study with little expectation of what it would look like in the end. It was meant to be practice with the intent of being loose and expressive. My concern was mainly exercising some new techniques and custom brushes I've developed over the last few months.
