Amy Smith
AOC - Contemporary Political Pop Art Print Portrait of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

2020

About the Item

Limited Edition #3 of 20 Print of original painting, printed on Coventry rag paper. Unframed. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, also known by her initials, AOC, is an American politician serving as the U.S. representative for New York's 14th congressional district since 2019. Collaged with various articles of and quotes from this rising congressional progressive force, Amy Smith's 'AOC' portrait is the latest in a long line of contemporary political portraiture. Glowing with vivid high key colors and graphic outlining, this piece bridges contemporary concept and technique in another addition to her 'ICON' Series. Amy Smith: Self-trained and always evolving, my artwork includes stencils, collage work, illustrations, digital graphic design, paint, and spray paint, all to create one-of-a-kind pieces that reflect both my passions and my fury, juxtaposed through the lens of imagination. While some of my work is driven by political, social, and environmental injustice, most reflect my deeply-rooted optimism and belief in the power of the feminist spirit, unity and love. My portraiture collage series is created from torn, recycled fashion magazines to represent both my love for fashion and my contempt for excessive consumption. Tearing fashion magazines that were carefully crafted to objectify women, I transform consumer messaging into words and images that celebrate the diversity and identity of both iconic and “everyday” strong, powerful women. My "Iconic Women" series pays homage to the courage, strength, and independence of women for whom we all owe a debt of gratitude. The mixed-media approach offers a new perspective on women’s empowerment that leaves behind what society demands. My artistic roots began in New Jersey, but the rich California art community is where I found new levels of inspiration and mentorship.
