About the Artist
Amelie Peace is a French artist based in London, and she examines the human condition using wrapped figuration and the construction of ‘intimacy-landscapes’ through painting and printmaking. She seeks to refine the art of gesture by carefully composing images that tinker with the sexual, emotional and social ideologies around touch and physical connectivity.
Her characters, interlaced with one another often render a sense of physical dependence, as if the figures once shared a body. They depict how every exchange with another person alters our understanding of our own bodies. Peace’s work serves as a mirror for both her personal life experiences, and observations of the world around her. Her images probe at human behaviour, unpicking the complex tensions around intimacy and control. Intentionally ambiguous, the psychophysical dialogues she explores invite interpretation, leaving ample space for individual reflection and emotional engagement.
She employs colour and texture as expressive tools, strategically placed to emphasise the nuances within the narrative. Hands play an important role in Peace’s exploration, whether in action or at rest, they serve as symbolic elements guiding viewers through the complexities of the relationships depicted. They are signposts in amongst the chaos, anchors within the complex compositions she explores. Each gaze is confronting, demanding the viewer to engage with the theatrical puzzles that Peace has crafted in her pursuit to illuminate the complexities of human emotion.
