Amanda Wall: Silvering

Amanda Wall is an American self-taught painter who lives and works in Los Angeles, California. A mix of voyeurism, exhibitionism, and 21st century existentialism, Wall’s work reveals the intimate and uncanny. With a shock of lurid colours in contrast to tender flesh tones, Wall’s distinctive palette touches on the nerve of vulnerability, desire and control. The subject matter, however, remains shadowy – a tension between abstraction and distorted reality, a conflict between the self and the void.
