Amy Erickson’s “Tuning Stars Within” is a captivating painting series that weaves together themes of intimacy, reflection, and transformation. Erickson’s work is known for its prismatic quality, drawing from both direct observation and the depths of imagination to create medium to large-scale acrylic figure paintings. Her unique approach to perceptual painting and compositional invention challenges viewers’ assumptions, encouraging a deeper engagement with the visual narratives she constructs.
Through her art, Erickson explores the emotive qualities of her subjects, employing lush color palettes and textural mark-making to bring forth both the visceral and the sublime. This series represents a significant contribution to the lineage of perceptual painters, resonating with influences from artists like Morandi and Euan Uglow, while also charting new territories in the exploration of human experience.
