Andrea Bowers

Andrea Bowers is an American artist born in Wilmington, Ohio. Always drawn to art, she earned a BFA in Art History from Bowling Green State University in Ohio and a PhD from the California Institute of the Arts. She currently lives and works in Los Angeles.

Bowers' works address themes important to feminist positions. Although they are strongly political, their tone is generally meditative rather than polemical, aiming to highlight issues with the goal of finding solutions rather than merely denouncing them.

Andrea Bowers focuses her work on the convergence of art and activism, drawing inspiration from various themes: demands for greater workers' rights, gender discrimination, LGBTQ rights, environmentalism, immigrant rights, and the safeguarding of ethnic minorities, while also exploring the connection between space, freedom, and political and financial interests.

Always at the forefront of battles concerning the issues she cares about, her art is powerful and intense, capable of impacting viewers through its strong emotional charge.

The Giuseppe Iannaccone Collection has been enriched by her 2018 work "Suffragette as a puta feminista," in which she uses acrylic marker on cardboard to depict this important women's emancipation movement that fought for women's right to vote.
