Andrew Pellettieri is a painter from New York City, now based in Upstate New York. He received his BA in Art from the State University of New York at Plattsburgh and his Certificate of Painting from the Arts Students League of New York. Pellettieri brings the representational images of his surroundings into semi-abstract reflections that reference spacious, holistic inputs of environment. His subjects often float in displaced horizons, asking viewers to reckon with impermanence and placement—with our own liminal object-hood within the ever-moving parameters of space and time. Much of his recent work centers issues of change and decay in the modern pastoral environment of the Upper Hudson Valley.

​

While at the Art Students League, he studied with Vaclav Vytlacil, Joseph Hirsh, and Robert Beverly Hale. Recently, his work has been shown throughout the Capital Region, including at the Art Center of the Capital Region in Troy; the Albany Center Gallery; the Columbia County Council On the Arts in Hudson; and the Mohawk-Hudson Regional at the Schenectady Museum.

​

His work can be found in the permanent collections of the Arts Students League of New York, the State University of New York at Plattsburgh, Kidder Peabody & Company, and numerous private collections.
