Amalia Keefer, Take Me With You, 2021, oil and acrylic on canvas, 91.5 x 122 cm
Guided by the fluctuating tendencies of human emotions, in her work, Amalia is intuitively guided by what she sees and how she feels in the moment rather than painting from a place of aesthetic premeditation.
Amalia's kaleidoscopic scapes are representative of what impacts her daily life, whether that be a conversation shared with a friend or a branch of freshly bloomed wattle. By documenting feelings and experiences in their realistic, unrefined state, Amalia questions our reliance on rigid structure to understand artistic language, ultimately emphasising its intention to translate differently to everyone.
