#28grams group show at Fort Works Art, Fort Worth, TX March 30 - April 2
Andre has explored further into his appearance theme by creating a diptych commenting on the very different expectations and judgement of men and women, perfectly illustrated by the underwear they wear. These two pieces, one of a plain white men's briefs and the other of a woman's panty demonstrate the difference in form, function and ultimately judgement based on gender.
This show runs until May 20, with an opening reception Saturday March 25th. A press viewing will take place on Friday March 24th.

New feminist icon work: Ruth Bader Ginsberg
Some of Andre's most familiar works are portraits of female icons. Ranging from Malala to Jane Fonda and Lady Gaga, the subjects are strong, self-motivated women. These women have reached iconic status for their work and influence, all are agents of change in society. He recently completed his latest portrait of feminist icon, Ruth Bader Ginsberg, whose work and achievements are more relevant today than ever before.

All of Veloux's works are made from Lego bricks. With a background in maths, computing and web design, Veloux decided four years ago to search for a medium that would best make use of his digital skills, and enable him to produce a physical, three dimensional, tactile artwork with a message. Veloux's work has been shown at many venues across the USA, and is included in private collections worldwide. A native of Great Britain, he currently resides in Princeton, NJ with his wife and daughter.
