Artist: Amanda Wall

Almine Rech Paris, Matignon presents 'Beddy Bye,' Amanda Wall's fifth solo exhibition with the gallery.

Amanda Wall is an American self-taught painter who lives and works in Los Angeles, California.
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. The subject matter, however, remains shadowy – a tension between abstraction and distorted reality, a conflict between the self and the void. Recognized for her meticulous craftsmanship, Amanda Wall employs a palette that vacillates between the jarring and the tender. The thematic focus of her paintings remains shrouded in enigma, engendering a palpable tension between abstract forms and a reality tinged with distortion.
