About
Canadian/American b. 1961
Andrea Legge is a NYC based visual artist and has spent 25 years making public art with Legge Lewis Legge LLC (LLL), a collaborative public art and design studio that she cofounded in 2000.
Most recently, in September of 2025 Andrea had her third solo show at Wild Project in NYC with 'Exercises in Rewilding 06: Louis Vuitton Core Values', the 6th body of work in her ongoing 'Exercises in Rewilding series. This work reflects a desire to respond to the ongoing commodification and monetization of wilderness spaces. ‘Exercises in Rewilding,’ takes marketing and advertising media using landscape imagery and re-represents it using analog retouching methods and acrylic paint.
In a concurrent body of work, Andrea is investigating ideas of heroics using photogrammetry to interpret and 3D-printed sculptures of existing heroic structures. Within this body of work, entitled 'Subjective Heroics', is 'Overwinter'; an interactive theatrical public art project inspired by 19th century polar explorers stuck for polar winters in icebound ships. Andrea researched Overwinter by participating in The Arctic Circle Residency in October 2022, a sailing expedition for scientists and artists in Svalbard, Norway. This research was generously funded by an Arts Abroad grant from The Canada Council for the Arts. A recent edition of the academic journal 'Regeneration' was devoted to our residency cohort and our work; 'On the Cold Edge, Creative Meditations on Svalbard'.
