Artist Statement for Amanda Scott
|
|
|
Amanda Scott is an emerging artist based in Melbourne. Amanda has always wanted to pursue a career in the Arts Industry. "I have never wanted to do anything else but create art or work in an art related environment."
She is currently finishing her second year of a Visual Arts Diploma at Chisholm Insitute majoring in both Painting and Photography. Amanda started the course with a main interest in Photography, working prodominately in black and white. However since developing her Painting skills during her first year, and finding a love of working with paint, Amanda decided to take Painting up as a second major this year.
Through out her two years with Chisholm Institute, Amanda has entered many exhibitions where she has recieved Hounarable mentions and the sale of various works. Amanda has found exhibiting a valueable experience. "I have always thought it has been important to get my art out there in the community and get it seen." She finds constructive critisim develops her technique and that her she is constantly learning.
Her work this year has had a focus on a feminine theme. Working in three series, the female figure, abstract figure, and still lifes, her work is an intimate exploration of the female contour and shape through realsitic and abstract images and a strong experiment with colour. In a sense it is a celebration of woman and the sensual structure of the female figure. Her still life series features decorative vases with flowers extending the feminine theme and reflecting the female form.
Amanda currently has her first private exhibition showing at the Dandenong Ranges Community and Cultural Centre in Upwey. "To see your art work up on a wall in an exhibition is such a great feeling and it is when your dreams of becoming an artist is realised."
