Piece description from the artist
"In an age in which increased human sensibility has become such an obvious need in all areas of human involvement, color sensitivity and awareness can constitute a major weapon against forces of insensitivity and brutalization." Josef Albers
Disturbed by the global climate of xenophobia, Internet-driven mass hysteria, and increased “black and white” thinking, I created this series as a way to fight back. The images in this series use Color as a weapon against forces of insensitivity. The works raise viewers’ awareness of Color and colors. If that is achieved, what follows could be greater sensitivity to new and different people, ideas, and ideologies. They are my attempt to fight brutishness with subtle beauty.
Born in Nashville, TN in 1979, Amanda Lomax is a lens-based artist living and working in Nashville, TN. Ms. Lomax holds a cum laude degree in Communications from Boston University, completing coursework in darkroom and digital photography. She was selected as a Teaching Assistant at the Santa Fe Photographic Workshops and Maine Media College, and spent several summers learning from renowned photographers Cig Harvey, Joyce Tenneson, Aline Simpson and Susan Burnstine. She is a recipient of the 2020 TriStar Arts Award and a graduate of the Periscope Arts Program.
Her work uses digital photography and technology to manifest abstract ideas into tangible pieces of art. She refers to this process as 'Photographic Techspressionism’. This process allows her to play with the boundaries between photography and digital art, drawing inspiration from organic landscapes and her own emotional responses. She is deeply influenced by the work of Mark Rothko, Barnett Newman and Josef Albers. Color is fundamental as she relies on it to produce a heightened emotional and visual experience for the viewer.
