Andrea Luper

Andrea Luper is a 27-year-old Alaska-born painter, based in New York City that attended SVA as a Silas H. Rhodes scholarship recipient, graduating in 2022 with a BFA in Illustration. Somewhere between Bouguereau and Bob’s Burgers, Luper paints the nude with equal parts mockery and reverence of the tradition.  She looks for authenticity in private moments, each work a colorful and cathartic exploration of her own experiences, fueled by feminism and critical of capitalist efforts to colonize our dwindling attention spans. With compassion and humor, she highlights the overwhelm of modern millennial life.
