Andrei Rentería (b.1986) is a multidisciplinary artist wandering about the U.S.- Mexico frontera. His experimental approach to material and research provides a powerful forum from which to investigate how to address and embody weighty subject matter (including torture and violence) beyond international borders. His work focuses on recurrences of human right abuses such as discrimination, persecution, unlawful imprisonment, femicides, amongst others along the region.

His work has been exhibited at the Latin American Institute of Austria,  Mexic-Arte Museum in Austin, Houston’s Holocaust Museum, Museum of the Big Bend, and at The Contemporary at Blue Star in San Antonio, Texas. 

He is the 2024 Democratizing Racial Justice Project’s Artist in Residence at the University of Texas at San Antonio; the 2019 George and Eliza Gardner Howard Foundation Fellow in Painting; and the recipient of The Contemporary at Blue Star’s 2018-2019 Berlin Residency, hosted by Künstlerhaus Bethanien in Berlin.
