Amanda Bracken

Through her practice, Amanda Bracken explores colour as a sense perception and the use of colour in cultural value systems. Her broad outlook has included themes of identity politics and cultural divisions and then again, she is 'always seduced by the beauty of the natural world'.
Observing the tangible world, subtle illusionistic drawings offer a starting point for the imaginative and physical possibilities of paint.

Bracken has exhibited her art in London and nationally and was featured in the Telegraph magazine in 2004. Awarded prize winner at Camberwell Open 2015 London.
Selected exhibitions include:
Canvas & Cream Gallery inaugural group exhibition London (2012); Dialogues in America-Latina, Institute of Education London (2012); Creekside Open 2011, selected by Phillida Barlow at APT Gallery Deptford (2011); Parallax Art Fair London (2011);
