Artist bio
Andrea Danker (b.1996) is a Singapore-based visual artist from Malaysia. Her work rethinks and privileges the subtle minuscule shifts of lived experiences, exploring the constructs of inhabitation within a passing time and space. She works across painting, drawing, and installation employing techniques of storytelling to present different views of perceiving everyday events and occurrences informed through personal narratives and social implications.
She graduated with a BA(Hons) in Fine Arts first class from LASALLE College of the Arts, Singapore. She has participated in group exhibitions including Undescribed #8, 2023 under DECK Singapore and Across Narrow Waters, as part of The Substation’s Septfest 2022. She was nominated for the International Takifuji Art Award in 2021 and was awarded the Winston Oh Travelogue Award in 2022.
