Andy Diaz Hope earned his Bachelor of Science and Master of Science in Engineering from Stanford University’s joint program in Design—a collaborative program between the Engineering and Art departments. Diaz Hope creates work that seeks to offer alternative viewpoints to the mainstream media out of a desire to foster dialogue, encourage pluralism, and critical thought.
In 2017, the Contemporary Jewish Museum, San Francisco commissioned Diaz Hope and Laurel Roth Hope to create The Woulds, a multi-media installation for the exhibition Jewish Folktales Retold: Artist as Maggid. Diaz Hope has exhibited internationally in venues including the Museum of Art and Design (New York), the Crocker Art Museum (California), the International Museum of Surgical Science (Chicago), the Museum of Contemporary Art (Colorado), the National Gallery of Victoria (Australia), and the London Crafts Council (England). His work is included in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art (New York), the Museum of Art and Design (New York), the Palm Springs Art Museum (California), the Nevada Museum of Art (Nevada), and 21c Museum Hotels (Kentucky).
In 2022, he had several exhibitions featuring his sculptural pieces, including Beautification Machine at Saint Joseph’s Art Society, and Overdose at the Design Museum Holon in Israel. In August of 2023, he completed a residency at the Space Program in San Francisco where he created two-dimensional print-based work for an upcoming show at Catharine Clark Gallery.
He lives in San Francisco, where he collaborates with his partner Laurel Roth Hope and has been represented by Catharine Clark Gallery since 2005.
