Amanda Tye.
Tye studied Fine Arts at the University of New South Wales majoring in sculpture and then completed a Bachelor of Art Education. She went on to teach Visual Arts and photography for 15 years — all while practising her painting. In 2017, she left teaching to pursue a full-time career as an artist, and now has a studio surrounded by bushland.
By sectioning the view into shapes, Tye depicts an emotional yet fragmented response to her surroundings. The artist is interested in a practice that swings between responding to the world as she experiences it and a creative process that happens outside her conscious awareness. A juxtaposition develops in the artworks, amplified through our engagement with city life, especially one poised between the ocean and bush.
Tye has been a finalist in the Northern Beaches Environment Art Prize 2024 & 2021, National Emerging Arts Prize ACB Selects 2022, Southern Buoy Landscape Prize 2020, Glover Art Prize 2019, The Fleurieu Art Prize 2018, Mosman Art Prize 2015, twice winner of the People’s Choice Warringah Art Prize 2010 &2015 (Northern Beaches Art Prize).
“...for me painting is about escapism and freedom; fueled by music, it is an obsession, a habit, returning each day to do better, to be better... striving to create that something I haven’t yet, something more... something good enough... but without experiences inspired by the magic of the natural and man made world, there wouldn’t be anything to create”
~Amanda Tye

2024 - Authentic Perspective
PREVIOUS SOLO EXHIBITION 2024
Show Notes
“In order to understand ourselves, others, and the world around us, we need to be able to change and adapt our perspectives.... look deeper into nature & you will understand everything better”
Albert Einstein
“Authentic Perspective” delves into my inner and outer worlds, pushing past the familiar into discomfort. It embraces transition and humility in nature’s presence, fostering self-acceptance and embracing slow change while confronting the inner critic. The creative process, though painful, remains addictive. Amidst a world marked by conflict and imbalance, these works serve as a reminder to seek the good, even amidst chaos, honouring the beauty and peace in my immediate surroundings. Through revisiting daily rituals, I rediscover and challenge old habits, aiming to evolve and grow from the world around me, even if it means taking a few steps backwards to move forward.
Words by Amanda Tye, 2024
