Andy Chou

In addition to many years in the ASI art studios, Andy Chou attended community art classes at Locust Street Art as a child and teen. He is a talented pianist, writer, and creator of visual art in a variety of media, and he is primarily a representational painter. Chou paints in acrylic on canvas, and he is a skilled watercolor artist as well. His watercolor style is that of a trained purist: he works wet into wet, using the white of the paper to create luminous washes unique to that medium. Although he creates textile pieces, wire sculpture, and paintings, he stays within unified bodies of work until each is complete, only then will he switch media or theme. Andy Chou’s work has been exhibited throughout Western New York for many years, including Daemen College Visual and Performing Arts Center Gallery, Big Orbit Gallery, and WNED’s Horizons Gallery.
