Amy Robson, 2022
Featured In IDentity: (Self)-Made by WomenThe Most Cake
The Most Cake is a digital memento mori that uses the grid format to emphasise the multidimensional nature of self. The deliberately wonky animations are an eclectic mash up of references from Freudian dream analysis and vegetarianism to the films of Wes Anderson and Yasujirō Ozu. A spinning form celebrates the embryonic nature of a cryptoart genesis piece while a bashing form laments the brokenness of human existence.
Amy Robson is a British/American artist who creates drawings, paintings and animations that consider the experience of being in a place – physical or psychological. Her work pushes representational boundaries with disjointed pictorial spaces and uncanny juxtapositions to emphasize contemporary dislocation and collective anxiety. Weird and wonky depictions of nature or interiors inhabited by ghostlike figures suggest the uncertainty and strangeness of being alive in the modern world.
Born in America (Pittsburgh, PA), Amy Robson has lived in the UK for 25 years. She trained at the Royal Drawing School and holds an MFA from Chelsea College (UAL), London. Her work has been shown in group and solo exhibitions in the UK and America. She has been selected for residencies with PADA Studios in Portugal and with Jentel Artists Residency Program in Wyoming. Her writing has been published in Turps Banana magazine and she is currently coordinating and curating an exhibition of long-term American expats in the UK.
