Amelia Karsten Art
Info & News
Amelia is currently working on the human and material movement in dancing, depicted through the layering of paint to produce a broken image. Working primarily in oils, Amelia's paintings blur the boundaries between realist and abstract to convey the energy of the figure and environment.
Inspired by the works of Gerhardt Richter, Mark Rothko and Lucian Freud, Amelia's style combines traditional with contemporary.
Work featuring in:
"It is in a totally different way that Amelia Karsten, known as Milly, brings us to her universe and the way she sees people. Layering paint, amalgamating abstract shapes and brush strokes, almost out of focus elements, with the human body. The results are compelling, and the energy and movement can be felt through what she describes as a “broken image.”
Edinburgh and New Forest based, she is a contemporary artist who focuses on motion and time.
Amelia caught our attention with her flowy portraits, impressive in size, making you want to jump in a glimpse of the world she depicts. Her work manages to make us feel the atmosphere present in it."
