Amy Dury (b. 1971 London, UK) studied BA Printmaking at Glasgow School of Art (1993–97) and an MA Fine Art at University of Brighton(2000–02). She works in oil and acrylic paint, alongside drawing and mixed media. “My subject matter is mostly figurative, I am naturally drawn to imagery from the past, especially the 70’s and 80’s, and the work of British social documentary photographers. The activity of choosing imagery and selecting composition is key to the final outcome. Looking back into our recent past is an act of remembering and nostalgic mis-remembering, with photographs becoming the memory which constructs stories about ourselves. I am also drawn to the times gone past which seem less self conscious, more free and full of what we were becoming.

“My first solo show in the USA brings together a collection of paintings made in the last two years that explores themes of gender roles and our shared history of familial and societal expectation. It speaks to a curiosity about permission, expectation and pressures especially in the position of women that we are still unpicking.”
