Amelie Mancini’s artistic practice ranges from painting to drawing, printmaking and textile design. In her paintings and drawings, she uses angular geometric shapes, fluid line work, busy textures and patterns, and silhouetted figures to create imaginary spaces where the abstract and the representational come together to create new narratives.
Born and raised in Lyon, France, Amelie Mancini moved to Brooklyn, NY in 2006. She received a Master’s Degree in Design and Fine Arts at the Sorbonne University in Paris. Her work is part of the permanent collection of the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, NY. In 2022, she received the Royal Watercolour Society Award. Her work was featured in WorksOnPaper4 and 5 at Blue Shop Gallery in London, and shown at Hashimoto Contemporary (New York, NY), Maake Projects (State College, PA) and 81C in St Thomas, V.I.
"My paintings come from half-remembered dreams, from the thick mud of childhood memories, and from the uninvited yet welcome mental images that appear sometimes during the relaxed state we enter right before sleep, as if the colorful, unexplained visions carried urgent but cryptic messages from somewhere deep within me, and needed to be brought out into the world, I the inarticulate interpreter of their mute poetry.”
