Andrea Pinheiro (b. 1982, Kingston, Ontario, Canada) is an artist and curator working in photography, video, mixed media, and installation. Her practice plays with our tendencies to collect, document and archive objective reality by complicating the distinction between creation and actuality.
In her works, Pinheiro applies paint and other organic materials to the surface of photographs, changing how the original images are represented and understood. These altered photographs are then scanned and enlarged to create new, permanent images without any physical evidence of their transformation by the artist.
Pinheiro currently lives and works in Sault Sainte Marie, Ontario, Canada. She is an Assistant Professor at Algoma University and also the director of 180 Projects, an experimental exhibition space in Sault Sainte Marie.Dimensions
