André Ramos-Woodard with Black SNAFU

We love catching up with our midwest nice artists! We’re excited to share work + accomplishments by André Ramos-Woodard @andreduane ✨

André was featured in our no place like home exhibition.

André was selected for the Foam Museum Amsterdam's Foam Talent 2024/2025 award + exhibition.

Drawing from a rich pool of 2,480 submissions across 106 countries, the 20 selected artists encapsulate a wide array of visions and perspectives. Central to the exhibition is a strong engagement with pressing societal themes, as artists question themselves and the world, exploring allegories of individual and collective existence. Their practices act as conduits for reflection, challenging viewers to ponder the layered relationship between personal identity and the wider social narrative. Spanning various mediums and techniques, from photography to installations, the works embody a dialogue between the past and the present. Each piece is a thread in the larger chronicles of cultural and historical significance, drawing on the power of photography to narrate and connect. — FOAM Talent

He was also selected to be amongst the Top 50 artists for Photolucida's annual Critical Mass competition in 2023. The top 50 are in the running to win additional prizes, which culminated in winning the Blue Sky Solo Show award and a solo exhibition at Blue Sky Gallery in Portland, Oregon in April of this year. here is a link to photos and more details regarding the exhibition.
