artist/ Collier

United States of America

Ted Collier (b. 1974) is an American contemporary artist and painter best known for his abstract works derived from observable patterns found in nature. Making references to minimalism and the De Stijl movement, Collier responds to the daily inundation of faux realism in the form of advertising and social media, reducing his environments to their essential forms and colors. Finding inspiration in the world around him, his paintings are influenced by abstractions of mental snapshots that have evolved over time – simplifying memories and experiences into geometric compositions that contain a universality within each piece.
