ABOUT

André Atkins is an LA-based interdisciplinary Fine Artist and Musician working in Sculpture, Installation, Performance, Sound Design, and 3D Graphic Arts.

André’s practice is a perpetual inquiry into how ancient ancestral spiritual technologies and methodologies can be re-adapted and modulated to more acutely address the contemporary social, spiritual, and cultural contexts André inhabits. In conjunction with his own personal practices as a tarot reader, medium, and Hoodoo practitioner, André’s years of study into various occult traditions and philosophies form the ground layer for André’s sculptural practice.

For André, sculpture and spellwork are inextricably intertwined, and as a result, his sculptural practice is used specifically as a matrix through which liberatory spiritual technologies from traditions like Hoodoo/Conjure and Espiritismo can be in explicit conversation with the Imperialist ancestry of the contemporary art world.
