Almine Rech is pleased to announce Andrea Marie Breiling's participation in the 2023 TWO x TWO for AIDS and Art auction.

TWO x TWO for AIDS and Art is an annual contemporary art auction held at The Rachofsky House in Dallas, benefiting two organizations—the Dallas Museum of Art and amfAR, The Foundation for AIDS Research.

The closer you get to the work, the more the surface begins to reveal its details. It’s the same experience I had when I first looked at a Swallowtail wing up close—what seemed like a mostly-white wing from afar was suddenly transformed into a maze of colorful layers and grid-like patterns of dark veins. I was amazed that the surface could appear lighter-than-air and magical from afar, but up close, that very same surface was an incredibly complex nanostructure made of iridescent scales and longitudinal ridges. I find the combination of complexity and sheer beauty found in Nature to be awe-inspiring and wondrous.
