Patricia Fleming Gallery announce Avenues a new solo exhibition by Amanda Seibæk.
Join us to launch our 2024 programme. We are delighted to present Glasgow based artist Amanda Seibæk’s first large-scale solo exhibition in our new gallery. Danish-born Amanda Seibæk has continued to develop her screen printing and painting practice since graduating from the Glasgow School of Art in 2022. This new body of work evolves her interests in literature and scientific explanations of natural phenomena. Seibæk is inspired by the traditions of autotheory, the combinations of narrative, autobiography, memoir and critical theory. With each layer of paint, Seibæk explores broader questions of philosophy, astrology, science and culture. Each work linking to the next, creating a path to navigate our way through life.
Seibæk uses these ideas as metaphorical tools to express turmoil in contemporary life though a more poetic lens. This can be used as a force to ask questions, to visualise thoughts and emotions, by example in her painting; ‘Meetings’ where the human form blurs and bends into a fictitious narrative.
When working with screen print and paint Seibæk is developing a language that does not divide or isolate printmaking as a separate component of her practice. Instead Seibæk’s images exist in three complimentary mediums; digital, print, and paint. The screen’s reflectiveness inspires the choice of surface and the multiple layers of printing. The transfer of print onto canvas or as seen predominantly on voile in Avenues, orchestrates the composition on the final painting which she completes with her brush. Through this material process, Seibæk analyses the interlinking relationship between emotion and motion to create images that viewers can connect with.
“I see colours in layers and with colours I start to shape my figures.”
