Oregon born beauty, Amanda Wall is an art director, stylist, painter and model. Spotted on the streets of Seattle during her college days resulted in a successful modeling career. The self-taught artist, describes her obsession with painting as 'low-key masochism', and refers to herself as a "pseudo-surreal-new-romantique-figurative painter." A heady mix of voyeurism, exhibitionism, and 21st century existentialism, Wall's work exposes the intimate and uncanny. With a shock of lurid colors in contrast to tender flesh tones, Wall's distinctive palette touches on the nerve of vulnerability, desire and control. Recognized for her meticulous craftsmanship, Amanda employs a palette that vacillates between the jarring and the tender. 2024 has seen Amanda present her fourth solo exhibition in New York entitled ‘Sky Got Dark,’ in collaboration with her gallerist, Almine Reich. ‘Sky Got Dark’ sees the recurring motifs of Wall’s visual vocabulary constitute new emotional scenarios. Plump blue cherries, distorted objects, tender lips, long-legged figures and grasping hands vacillates between reality and psychological absurdity.
