More about the artist
Amanda Bracken works across the fine art disciplines:- painting, drawing, photography and object making, with a main focus on colour.
During lockdown, Brackens more expressively painted works on paper have become intimate in scale and compelling in detail. Intensely coloured- this new series of 'Trompe l'oeil collage' oil painting, draws its inspiration from randomly torn fragments of paper. These recent works explore both the abstract and the narrative. Bracken teaches fine art in London.
