Many heads will move when California-based Amandalynn showcases her
artwork in move A head at Carmichael Gallery of Contemporary Art,
transforming the space into a Victorian-inspired hall of beautiful
headless portraits and sculpted and cast resin cameos, vases and
jewelry. The inventive artist will also create a site-specific
installation, collaborating with Los Angeles floral designer Renee
Fontana to style an organic, colorful, and tactile juxtaposition of
her artwork. An opening reception will be held on Saturday, August
2nd, 2008, from 8pm – Midnight, with Amandalynn and Renee Fontana in
attendance.
With artwork flavored with Amandalynn’s elegant, vivacious style and
the distinctive rhythm of the street framed with Renee Fontana’s
exotic floral extensions, these young women emphasize the symbiotic
relationship between art, design, and nature. Having collaborated in
the past, the two women take the expected gallery setting and fashion
it into an all-new fanciful space with their unique and practiced
artistic senses. The green of Amandalynn’s most recognized artwork
intertwines with Fontana’s leafy designs resulting in a “fresh”
presentation that is simply stunning.
Amandalynn began her artistic training on the East Coast before moving
to California, receiving a BA from the San Francisco Academy of Art.
By day, Amandalynn works as a custom motorcycle painter and metal
sculpture restorer. She takes her deep knowledge of this craft and
applies it to her own artwork, creating an original approach to
painting and sculpture. As a member of infamous West Coast graffiti
crew, the Seventh Letter, Amandalynn is renowned for her murals of
gorgeous, green-toned females, who lounge seductively on walls and
doorways around San Francisco.
