Andrew Gray is a painter and designer continuing his practices in Baltimore, Maryland. After receiving his BFA in Fine Arts and working two years in the professional field of design he now maintains a career as a gallery artist with representation by Band of Vices Art Gallery.

His paintings promote a sense of prosperity contradicting the common societal narratives of black people shown in our community. Initially, his ideas take form through many drafts of digital collages and become a visual foundation for the actual paintings to develop. Andrew highlights a diverse range of black characters to exemplify his ethnicity not as a monolith but instead a community of complex human beings.
