William Andersen

William Andersen uses traditional and new media approaches to address the notions of globalization and hybridity in his art practice, often incorporating chinoiserie imagery, an interest acquired early on amid his mother’s collection of blue and white china.

He has received numerous awards including a Fulbright Fellowship and a Nohl Fellowship for Individual Artists. His artwork is included in numerous public and private collections in Austria, China, Croatia, Hong Kong, Japan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, South Korea, Taiwan, the UAE, and the USA. He is currently an Associate Professor and the Chair of the Art and Graphic Design Department at the American University of Kuwait.
