Bronx-born artist Colin Goldberg’s technology-fueled paintings have been featured in WIRED, The New York Times, and on PBS. Goldberg, a Pollock-Krasner Grant recipient, coined the term Techspressionism in 2011 to describe his fusion of Expressionist painting and 21st-century technology. Techspressionism has since evolved into an international community of artists from over 45 countries. The term has spread mainly through social media, with over 85,000 Instagram posts using the hashtag #techspressionism since the group’s inception in 2020. Goldberg’s first solo museum exhibition, Metagraphs: Augmented Reality Art, will open at the Cape Cod Museum of Art in June 2027. [expanded bio]
