Colin Goldberg (b. 1971, Bronx, NY) is an American artist of Japanese and Jewish ancestry. Deeply influenced by Abstract Expressionism, he has extended its trajectory into the digital age through a hybrid practice of painting and technology. He coined the term Techspressionism in 2011; first recognized as a new art movement in Wired (2014), it has since grown into a global community. A Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant recipient, Goldberg’s work is in the Hearst Corporate Collection and has been featured in The New York Times, NPR, PBS, and Wired. His Metagraphs series of AR works will be presented in a solo museum exhibition at the Cape Cod Museum of Art in summer 2027. [expanded bio]

ABOUT TECHSPRESSIONISM
This discussion is a conversation on the topic of Techspressionism between Christiane Paul, Curator of Digital Art at the Whitney Museum of American Art, and art historian Helen A. Harrison, the former longtime Director of the Pollock-Krasner House and Study Center in East Hampton, New York, the former home and studio of artists Jackson Pollock and Lee Krasner. The roundtable is moderated by Goldberg, who provides an introduction to Techspressionism.
