Amy Chenier

"I think art should prompt a reaction that is tangible and can't necessarily be put into words. If you can talk about it why paint it? To paint is to suggest visually. And what one suggests is what makes painting so enjoyable, risky and important. Previously my artwork just showcased straight-up portraits. The portrait is still the focus of my new work, but in a more compositional, conceptual context. The power of the human face will always be the cornerstone of my work and the ideas behind it."
