“I’m honored to be included amongst such incredible queer artists and allies to support the Ali Forney Center—an organization that is more vital in this city than ever. Faced with an administration intent on fostering division and fear, the Ali Forney Center is determined to keep those most at risk in our community safe. Their work saves lives on a daily basis, and I’m so grateful for the opportunity to help in any way I can.” —Andrew Brischler
Andrew Brischler (b. 1987) makes work that examines his queer identity through the lens of popular culture. With a practice firmly rooted in drawing, his work investigates how cultural consumption inherently shapes autobiography. Drawing from a vast personal archive of vintage movie posters and queer ephemera, Brischler painstakingly reinterprets this found imagery by hand.
His work has been the subject of solo exhibitions at GAVLAK in Palm Beach and Los Angeles, the Fire Place Project in East Hampton, the Arts Club in London, and 39 Great Jones in New York. His work has been featured in group exhibitions including at The Bunker: The Beth Rudin DeWoody Collection in West Palm Beach, the FLAG Art Foundation in New York, the CMA Houston, Nathalie Karg Gallery in New York, and Galerie Eva Presenhuber in Zurich. Brischler is a 2025–2026 resident at the Sharpe Walentas Studio Program in Brooklyn, and he received a NYFA Fellowship in 2015 and a Rema Hort Mann Foundation Visual Arts Grant in 2013. He earned his BFA in Painting from SUNY New Paltz and his MFA from the School of Visual Arts, New York.
