MADE is delighted to welcome London based artist Amy Shuckburgh to the gallery for her highly anticipated exhibition 'where we meet'. Amy is a soft pastels artist who works with great energy and tenderness to explore rural and urban landscapes, as well as scenes of domestic life.

Inspired by expressionism and fauvism, Amy augments colours, abstracts and simplifies shapes, and uses dynamic brushstrokes to convey the emotion felt in a place. She frequently uses poetry as a catalyst for her compositions and in the titles of her work. 

where we meet is an exhibition of large scale landscapes in soft pastel, using bold colour and energetic marks. The canvases rarely contain discernible figures, but Amy’s vivid palette and restless marks create a sense of animation, as though registering the frequency of passers-by just out of sight. Up close, the pastel marks seem splintered and chaotic; but from a distance the unblended jagged lines seem to coalesce.

The exhibition’s title, where we meet, evokes the idea of stories played out within these landscapes: encounters, rendezvous and crossed paths. Many of the works depict transitional or communal spaces, shaped by movement and memory. The title also suggests the paintings themselves as sites of encounter - spaces where artist and viewer meet.

We are pleased to be able to share the catalogue of works here ahead of the exhibition, with all enquiries to info@madeinthepewseyvale.com.
