Adela Andea (born 1976) is a Romanian-American artist.[1][2]
Early life and education
Born in 1976 in Romania, Adela Andea immigrated to the United States with her husband in the late 1990s.[3][4] She obtained a Bachelor of Fine Arts in painting from the University of Houston and later a Master of Fine Arts in new media from University of North Texas.[4][5][6]
During her studies, Andea expanded upon the work of light artists such as James Turrell and Dan Flavin by incorporating robotics and mechanical components into her installations.[4]
Career
Andea began her career as a paralegal in Los Angeles and pursued painting as a hobby.[7] In 2005, she moved to Texas to complete her art studies.[4]
In 2018, Steve Madden invited Andea to create an installation for a pop-up shopping experience in New York City.[4]
Work
Andea's work uses LED lights, CCFL, computer components, plastics, and electronic elements to create large-scale light installations.[8][7][9] Her first major installation, The Green Cyberweb, was presented in 2009 at the Lawndale Art Center in Houston, Texas.[7] Her installations have since been exhibited at various institutions, including the Art Museum of Southeast Texas,[10] Art League Houston,[11] Blue Star Contemporary Art Center,[12] the Centre for International Light Art,[13] the McKinney Avenue Contemporary,[14] the Museum of Geometric and MADI Art,[15] the Pearl Fincher Museum of Fine Arts, The Grace Museum,[16] Women & Their Work,[6] and Zebra 3 (Crystal Palace).[7] She is also involved as a contributing artist for the Meow Wolf Houston project.[17]
Her artworks are included in the permanent collection of the Centre for International Light Art in Unna, Germany.[4] Additional installations are housed at Drewery Place in Houston and as part of the Public Art Collection at Texas Tech University in Lubbock.[18][19]
