André and Evan Lenox-Samour (b. 1990, Boston, MA) are a queer identical twin artist duo of Palestinian descent based in Brooklyn, New York. Their current work mines family heirlooms, combining ancestral craft traditions with found text to create abstract commemorative sculptures.

André and Evan attended the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, receiving their BFAs in Studio Art in 2012. Their work has been exhibited nationally and internationally at Honor Fraser (Los Angeles, CA), Club Pro Los Angeles (Los Angeles, CA), Shoot The Lobster (New York, NY), Interstate Projects (Brooklyn, NY), Rod Barton (London, UK), and Queer Thoughts (Chicago, IL), among others. Their work has been published in Post Internet Survival Guide (Ed. Katja Novitskova, Revolver Publishing, Berlin, Germany, 2010), with press including Art21, Artspace, Cultured Magazine, Contemporary Art Review Los Angeles, and Dis Magazine.
