Colin Goldberg is an American artist born in the Bronx, New York in 1971. The artist coined the term Techspressionism in 2011 for use as the title of a solo exhibition. It was first described as a movement in this 2014 WIRED article and was elaborated upon in this 2015 PBS interview with the artist. He holds a MFA in Computer Art from BGSU and is a recipient of grants from the Pollock-Krasner Foundation and the New York State Council on the Arts. Goldberg’s works reside in the permanent collections of the Pollock-Krasner House and Study Center, Stony Brook University Hospital and the Islip Art Museum.
