Andrew S. Hiebert, "My Right Side," 2009

acrylic on canvas, 12" x 18"

The show is based on the painting 'My Right Side' that is an allegorically abstract self portrait. The show will have a wall of abstract work opposite a wall of impressionist work, ~12 pieces per wall. Besides highlighting the two style genres, the physical arrangement of the pieces will nudge people to realize their preferred style. The notion of 'right side' also makes reference to the right hemisphere of the brain where popular culture has placed the creative abilities of the mind.

Andrew S. Hiebert, "It's Not Just Where You Stand, It's Also Where You Sit," 2018

acrylic on canvas, 20" x 30"

The 'Right Side' project began when a friend with an autistic child asked him to paint a picture to represent the beauty and struggle of their lives. Hiebert created a large scale work which became a powerful abstract allegory of their story.  Since that initial project, he has worked with ever increasing zeal to create visually powerful poems, connecting what is RIGHT within all of us
