Amy Steel (UK, 1981) explores feminist subjectivity and asks how it could affect established structures of power and patriarchal influence. Her paintings are mostly populated by women engaged in a private, sexual world where visceral pleasures are enacted.
Exhibitions include: Tabula Rasa Gallery, Beijing; Bim Bam Gallery, Paris; Graduate Gallery, London; John Moores Painting Prize, Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool; and Haze Projects, London. Steel completed her MFA with distinction from the Slade School of Fine Art and her BA in Fine Art from Goldsmiths University London. Steel was awarded the ACME Post Graduate Studio Award.
