Andy DuCett is from Winona, MN and received his M.F.A. from the University of Illinois and his B.F.A. from the University of Wisconsin – Stout. His artistic approaches span many disciplines in both studio and client environments. He’s interested in the slippage that re-contextualization of images and experiences offers — going from familiar to unfamiliar, easy to complicated. His work has been shown in galleries and museums around the country, and is in the collections of The Minneapolis Institute of Art, Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, The Philbrook Museum of Art and The Walker Art Center. He has been featured by Artforum, New American Paintings, The Washington Post, The Daily Beast, and The Huffington Post, as well as publications in Toronto, Berlin, Tokyo, and London. He was the recipient of a 2017 McKnight Visual Arts Fellowship, and is listed on the curated registry of the Drawing Center in New York City. He is a 2021 recipient of grants by The John S. and James L. Knight Foundation to fund Conservatory, a collaboration with Jovan C. Speller. His client list includes Hasbro, Travail Kitchen & Amusements, Cummins, The LGPA, Can Can Wonderland, Design Research Collective, Target and Meow Wolf.
