Amélie Peace is a French-born artist currently working in London. She has exhibited with galleries such as JD Malat, Soho Revue and Phillips in London, amongst many more. Her practice delves into the experience of touch and the human need for physical connection. The psychophysical dialogues curated in her paintings discuss emotional, sexual and gendered experiences. She explores what it means to be human, unpicking the complex tensions between longing and rejection, aggression and tenderness. She sheds light on secret desires and how our inner lives are reflected in our bodies.
Her characters, interlaced with one another often render a sense of physical dependence, as if the figures once shared a body. They depict how every exchange with another person alters one’s sense of their physical self, inviting viewers to join an introspective journey into the universal human experience of inhabiting bodies.
