FTC Doctoral Honoree Colin Goldberg featured in Whitehot Magazine
Five Towns College resident artist and designer Colin Goldberg will be presented with an honorary Doctorate Degree at the Five Towns College 2025 Commencement on May 8 for his work as an artist and creative professional.
Goldberg invented the term Techspressionism in 2011 to describe his technology-fueled paintings. Since then, Techspressionism has developed into an international art movement spanning over 45 countries, and a widely used hashtag on social media, with over 80K Instagram posts by artists around the globe using the hashtag #techspressionism.
In the 1990’s the artist supported his studio practice as a freelancer in NYC advertising agencies, coding and designing some of the web’s first consumer-facing sites and launching brands such as Merrill Lynch, Snapple and Popular Science Magazine online.
Colin has been working with Five Towns College since 2016, when he was initially brought on to redesign the college’s website. Since then, he has created digital illustrations, print advertising, apparel design, brand assets, and perhaps most notably, the visual identity for the school’s mascot, Fader. Colin, who was born in the Bronx, grew up and attended public school on Long Island, and now lives and works in North Bennington, Vermont.
The artist’s most recent project is an exhibition titled Four Techspressionist Artists, which opened Monday in Chicago and runs through July 20, 2025. The show was recently featured in Whitehot Magazine, an international magazine of contemporary art based in NYC:
