安德魯•貝爾德是科羅拉多州當?shù)匾粋€家庭的第五代，在那生活，工作。他曾作為畫家和藝術教授教導過二年級和畢業(yè)班的藝術學生長達30年之久。安德魯•貝爾德在北科羅拉多大學獲得了藝術碩士和博士學位，并從事藝術及藝術教育事業(yè)已經(jīng)三十余年之久。他的畫和陶器在全美和全世界的畫廊和展覽館里展出。
 

    乍眼一看，安德魯•貝爾德的畫似乎在模仿杰克遜•波洛克；但從線條肖像畫中，我們可以看出鮮明的區(qū)別來。一幅巨大的肖像，看似雜亂無章，但從明暗角度一 看，效果就出來了。因為形象是從明暗的效果才顯示出來的，而他正是個中行家。鮮艷奪目的色彩使得肖像神奇的出現(xiàn)又消失，很是吸引人。
 

    安德魯•貝爾德的肖像畫大概7，8英寸高5，6英寸寬。將畫布在地上展開，先畫出大概的輪廓。頭2，3種顏色上在臉上，隨著顏色不斷增加，肖像越發(fā)模糊直至完全消失。每天只上2，3種顏色，這樣每次上的色在下次上色前都能干掉。
 

    他的繪畫作品和陶瓷作品在全美及世界各地舉辦過展覽，被來自不同國家的名人收藏家收藏，在美國的許多地方都擁有畫廊。
 

    安德魯•貝爾德總是能夠很出色地運用顏色。 讓他筆下的畫面在顏色的縱橫交錯中消失又出現(xiàn)，讓觀看者驚訝不已。

    Andrew Baird, a fifth-generation Colorado native, lives and works in Evergreen, Colorado. He has worked as an artist and as an art educator on the secondary and graduate level for thirty years. Andrew Baird earned his B.A. in Fine Arts and his M.A. in Fine Arts from the University of Northern Colorado, and his paintings and ceramics have been displayed in galleries and exhibitions throughout the United States and internationally.
At first glance, Andrew Baird's current paintings seem to resemble the work of Jackson Pollock; but when the linear portraits begin to appear, the striking difference in the content becomes clear. The large, colorful portraits are created through light and dark values in a seemingly chaotic painting.
 

    Andrew Baird is free from predictable use of colors. Vibrant color combinations allow the subject to intriguingly appear and disappear, actively engaging the viewer.
 

    Andrew Baird's linear portraits measure approximately 7 - to - 8 feet tall and 5 - to - feet wide. He drips paint onto the canvas on the floor, first creating a rough sketch of the features of his subject. The first two or three colors are designed to lock in the features of the face, keeping the image from completely disappearing as layers of colors are added. He adds two to three colors each day, letting the layers dry between sessions.
