Colin Adriel Goldberg was born in the Bronx, New York in 1971. The artist’s recent work deals primarily with the intersection of abstraction, the unconscious gesture, and computer technology.

Colin attended Southampton Public Schools and obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree in Studio Art with a painting concentration from Binghamton University in 1994.

Goldberg’s artistic heritage follows that of the abstract expressionists of the 1950’s, who continue to exert their ideological and aesthetic influence on the artist’s work. As an undergraduate student, he studied under Angelo Ippolito, a New York School abstract expressionist painter and colleague of Jackson Pollock.

After college, he moved to NYC, where he worked as a practicing artist for the next five years, opening his first studio in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, and later relocating to Avenue A in Manhattan’s East Village, where he began his exploration of digital art and its relation to abstraction.

The artist’s work has been exhibited at the Roberson Museum in Binghamton, New York, the Parrish Art Museum in Southampton, New York and at galleries and art events in Manhattan, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Boston, Honolulu and the Hamptons.

In 1995, Goldberg was commissioned by the Earth Day Network to create two environmentally-themed digital photomontages, which were projected 200 feet tall onto the Empire State Building during the Earth Day festival.

In 2000, Dreaming Brain, an interactive artwork Goldberg created in collaboration with artist Steve Miller, was exhibited at Manhattan’s Equitable Gallery.  It was the sole interactive piece in the exhibition, which was entitled Dreams 1900-2000. The show included works by Georges Braque, Marc Chagall, Salvador Dali, Jackson Pollock, Rene Magritte, and Jasper Johns, along with films including ‘Spellbound’ by Hitchcock, ‘Wild Strawberries’ by Bergmann, and ‘Dreams’ by Kurosawa.

In 2005, one of Goldberg’s works on canvas was accepted into the permanent collection of the Pollock-Krasner House and Study Center in Springs, New York, the former home and studio of painters Jackson Pollock and Lee Krasner.

In 2007, the artist received a Master of Fine Arts degree on full scholarship from Bowling Green State University in Ohio, with a concentration in Computer Art. He currently lives and works on the North Fork of Long Island, with his girlfriend Donna and their cats Maceo and Amber. Goldberg is currently represented by Yes! Gallery in Brooklyn.
