Biography

Artist Biography

Amy Magee is a dynamic contemporary British artist whose creative journey has led her from the creative melting pot of Bristol, England to the artistic landscapes of Southern France. as she draws inspiration from all around her to create her visceral paintings. Magee's artistic vision is a fusion of innovation and tradition.

Magee grew up in rural England and was an avid painter from her early years. Fascinated by the intricate expressions of the human form, she found early inspiration in the evocative figurations of the masters Michelangelo and Caravaggio. During her formative years, the boundary-pushing works of artists such as Jenny Saville opened Amy's eyes to the convergence of classical figuration and modern abstraction.

Amy didn’t go to art school. Instead, she pursued her fascination for the human mind - studying Cognitive Psychology and the neuroscience behind how we process information, form memories, and experience the world differently. Akin to the Abstract Expressionists, Amy explored the profound impact of visual arts on the human psyche and her work took on an abstract dimension, drawing on both Color Theory and Action Painting techniques.

Now, Amy's paintings have become windows into raw, unfiltered emotion immortalised on canvas. Like a sponge, she absorbs the essence of her surroundings—capturing the visuals and light in her memory. Then, guided solely by intuition and her inner experience, Amy conjures dreamscape paintings that emanate from within, bringing her inner world to life.

Amy’s paintings now feature in many private collections worldwide and have been featured in British Vogue, GQ and BBC.
