Amandalynn

Carmichael Gallery, Hollywood

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.
