Piece description from the artist
This piece is first a celebration of the color, Tangerine. The joyfulness! The juiciness! The energy! The Second Chakra! Twelve concentric circles are featured; each is a different tint, shade, or hue of tangerine. The differences between the colors are mathematically calculated to be as subtle as possible. The fight is against our Instant Culture. I invite the viewer to take her time looking. Additionally, true to my own sun sign, Sagittarius, truth-seeking is central to my being. So, I pose the question with this piece: color-wise what is the truest of true “tangerines”? A fitting symbol for the Archer herself – a target – emerges, presenting answers. As she aims her bow and points her arrow at the heavens, she searches for Truth in the purest color of Tangerine. The original piece is 20" x 20" signed and titled in verso and is a Giclee Print with Face Mounted Acrylic. Glossy finish. Hanging Hardware is attached.
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.
