Piece description from the artist
This piece hangs inside the Light Center at Vanderbilt University Medical Center and greets those patients arriving for surgery. This retro-style hardedge photographic print brings color and style to the traditional landscape. With landscape photography, I’m interested in exploring color more than subject. The photograph becomes less a document and more a tool for self expression. Manipulating my own photography helps bring color to the forefront. With this piece I hope to seduce the viewer by colors and inspire a fresh look at landscape photography.
Born in Nashville, TN in 1979, Amanda Lomax is a lens-based artist living and working in Nashville, TN. Ms. Lomax holds a cum laude degree in Communications from Boston University, completing coursework in darkroom and digital photography. She was selected as a Teaching Assistant at the Santa Fe Photographic Workshops and Maine Media College, and spent several summers learning from renowned photographers Cig Harvey, Joyce Tenneson, Aline Simpson and Susan Burnstine. She is a recipient of the 2020 TriStar Arts Award and a graduate of the Periscope Arts Program.
Her work uses digital photography and technology to manifest abstract ideas into tangible pieces of art. She refers to this process as 'Photographic Techspressionism’. This process allows her to play with the boundaries between photography and digital art, drawing inspiration from organic landscapes and her own emotional responses. She is deeply influenced by the work of Mark Rothko, Barnett Newman and Josef Albers. Color is fundamental as she relies on it to produce a heightened emotional and visual experience for the viewer.
