Artist Statement:
VISIT www.amandavangils.com
Statement:
The works in ‘A Poetic Line’
continue the artist’s interest
in depicting figures outside
of their expected settings.
Occupying indistinct space and
time, the figures appear in
some senses dislocated from
reality but are all in fact
derived from real scenarios
observed or experienced by the
artist.
The newer works extend from
the pure fun and childish
imagination of the work seen
in ‘Playtime’ to now
incorporate adulthood with all
the restrictions that
encompasses. Supporting
structures, gleefully ignored
by the children depicted,
provide clues to the
limitations felt by the
clinging adults, dependant on
more than their own
imaginations.
“Amanda van Gils seems to be
at home in the twilight.
Bright and dark are equally
present as hope and
senselessness. Here she can
cautiously ask her questions
about the relation of people
and place, of real and
imaginative, ask them with the
affirmative question mark of
her visible intentions while
not demanding a definite
answer, leaving room for
individual interpretations.
This is the glow of van Gils’
specific twilight that
radiates from all her work.”
