BIOGRAPHY
Amanda Zheng is a New Zealand-born contemporary artist and oil painter based in New York, NY. Her practice explores the tension between grace and novelty, with the intention to expand painting and printmaking through mixed media applications, involving subtractive processes and metal fabrication. She approaches her discipline with the grit of an athlete, and the sensitivity of a painter.
With a traditional background in oil painting, and formal training at Parsons School of Design in Communication Design, Amanda Zheng explores both disciplines as both an image-maker and painter. Her works are rendered as monoprints, paintings and image transpositions, with a heightened sensitivity to color, gesture, and materiality.
