Biography

Artist Biography

Amy Magee is a British contemporary artist whose creative journey has led her from the creative melting pot of Bristol, UK to the artistic landscapes of Southern France. 

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.

At university, Amy pursued her fascination for the human mind, studying Cognitive Psychology and the neuroscience behind how we process information, form memories, and how we each interact with our environment 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.

Now, Amy's paintings have become windows into raw, unfiltered emotion immortalised on canvas. Guided solely by intuition and her inner experience, Amy conjures dreamscape paintings that emanate from within, bringing to life both a fusion of her Southern France surroundings and her inner world.

To date, Amy has built a global business, creating a body of work featured in seven galleries, Vogue, House and Garden, the BBC. Her work primarily resides in private collections worldwide and her representing galleries. She continues to release new collections each years and collaborate with designers on global interior design projects.

Murals

You can also discover Amy’s work in the form of murals across various cities in Europe. A pivotal chapter in Amy's artistic evolution unfolded in Bristol, a city renowned for its street art heritage and the birthplace of iconic figures such as Banksy, Inky and Damien Hirst. Here, she delved into the world of murals and spray cans, crafting a signature style that harmonized her early classical influences with the urban environment. Themes of nature, the human mind, and the transience of street art pulsate through her creations.
