Andy Robert (b. 1984, Les Cayes, Haiti) is a New York-based artist known for his assemblage sculpture and paintings in the manner of late Impressionism, Arte Povera, or even tachism.

For Frieze Los Angeles, Roberts will present a suite of assemblage sculpture — in line with the works exhibited at his solo exhibition at Artists Space New York in 2023 — along with new wall-works both of which forms favor a poetic disposition informed by postcolonial thought and diasporic struggles. 

His work emphasizes friction — in the breaking of the picture plane, the deconstructive and colliding shifts in perspective, time, and space, and a melding of simultaneity—the past, present, and future— creating an opaque felt sense of the infinite and sublime, of terror and vulnerability.

For Roberts, art can be a philosophical means to look at and examine things, to question, test ideas, and engage the world. As a contemporary artist, his work and approach to painting is, at the fore, a negotiation of how a contemporary image is made, understood, and seen—its contextualization.

His work has previously been exhibited with the Pinault Collection, The Studio Museum in Harlem, Le Musée du Louvre in Paris, Reena Spaulings, the Museum of Modern Art New York, the Foundation Vincent Van Gough in Arles, 125 Newbury in New York, Michael Werner in London, Artist Space in New York, Hannah Hoffman in Los Angeles, the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, amongst many others. He has also been the recipient of the Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant, the MacDowell Colony Fellowship; and the Roy Lichtenstein Award.
