Andrea Beizer
My latest body of work involves drawing and writing and bridges my interest in storytelling through symbols and messages. I am interested in exploring the vulnerability and isolation of the individual in modern society. I use the “cartoon” format as my method. It is through the questions and comments of the characters in the drawings that issues are explored. My characters are asking questions about themselves and about the world around them. I have removed all miscellaneous detail in the drawings in order to focus on the image and message. I believe that the immediacy of the cartoon is relevant in our fast-paced media-obsessed contemporary world through the simplification of complex but relevant ideas.
