ImprovScape:
ImprovScape brings improv to the arts communities of Baltimore! Each show, a specially designed cast of HIghwire’s improvisers meet with a local artist. We interview them, see their work, and turn their art, inspirations, history, and commentary into hilarious improv!

This month’s guest artist is Andersen Woof (he/him):

Andersen Woof (b. 1989) is a Chinese-American painter who lives and works in Baltimore, Maryland. Originally trained in landscape architecture at the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD), he creates fictional and semi-autobiographical paintings that explore transformation, memory, belonging, and the paradox of the human condition through the lens of his own queer and immigrant life. Drawing from research into queer history, mysticism, religious art, philosophy, and psychology, his intuitive painting process embraces spontaneity and ambiguity, constructing symbolic spaces where personal experience and collective histories converge.

Woof has exhibited with Semiose Gallery (Paris, France), 1969 Gallery (New York, NY), Fortnight Institute (New York, NY), CPM Gallery (Baltimore, MD), Vardan Gallery (Los Angeles, CA), and Acappella Gallery (Naples, Italy). His work has been featured in New American Paintings, Platform by David Zwirner, Art Verge, Art Viewer, Booooooom, Connaissance des Arts, The Steidz, Baltimore Fishbowl, The AIDS Memorial, and Mepaintsme. Woof is a finalist for the Hopper Prize and a two-time semifinalist for the Janet & Walter Sondheim Art Prize. He received the Pollock-Krasner Foundation Fellowship for his 2025 residency at the Vermont Studio Center, and the Greater Opportunity Fellowship and Cy Twombly Endowment Fellowship for his 2026 residency at the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts.
