Eugene Andolsek

Eugene Andolsek was born in Adrian, West Virginia, United States.

He grew up with his mother's homemade quilts and crochet pieces which became a principal influence for his later drawings.

He was soon creating abstract compositions of remarkable geometric and chromatic complexity and produced several thousand kaleidoscopic designs.

[1] After being made redundant, Andolsek developed an irreversible eye disorder and became almost blind, provoking him to consider suicide.

Anderson included some of the work in a group show at AFAM called "Obsessive Drawing" in 2005.
