A Coastline and Between by Amanda Tye

Driven by the dissatisfaction of today’s fast pace lifestyle, artist Amanda Tye seeks to capture places resembling untouched paradises, playing with perspective and colour to offer a still and quiet perspective of Sydney’s coastal landscape. Her distinct style dances between representation and abstraction, which often translates through the tensions between the natural environment with man-made world.

“By sectioning the view into shapes, I capture different emotional responses to my surroundings on the one surface. I am interested in a practice that swings between responding to the world as I experience it and a creative process that happens outside my conscious awareness” – Amanda Tye
