Andre Veloux artworks explore gender, women’s rights and consent issues using the medium of Lego bricks.

Andre’s works include 2 dimensional striated and soft-palette imagery with subtle messaging, alongside 3-dimensional portrait works and series such as “Icons” and “Freedom Without Judgment''. These reference pop art, depicting bold images built from pixels and leverages the 3-dimensional opportunity coming from the medium. These bold images comment on beauty, fashion choices, and societal pressures inflicted on young women. Andre also coined the term “Anti-portrait” to label a series of female figures depicted showing their backs, emphasizing their vulnerability to ‘the male gaze’.

Andre has a mission of taking his art to live audiences who can interact intimately with the artwork and with other members of the audience. His first Consent  live art event in collaboration with Princeton University took place in 2019..

Andre has shown at SCOPE Miami, been represented at Krause Gallery, New York, New York since 2016, and has shown elsewhere, including Parlor Gallery, NJ and Fort Works Art, TX. Andre also created and produces a podcast “Voluminous” to spotlight women he has personally connected with and been inspired by during his art career, in order to bring their voices to a wider audience.
