Amy Moffat
(24 years old. Born in United Kingdom. Lives in: London)
Wimbledon College of Art

The paintings take their source from early 20th century postcards. My work involves taking archival imagery and manipulating it thus dissolving its link to its origin but leaving information so there is a sense of the familiar. Colours unreal to actuality are used-candy pinks, acid blues, vivid yellows-and information is erased by use of paint with the aim of unsettling the image and creating a feeling of the uncanny. The strange unauthentic colours are what attract me to the old imagery. They can’t represent a ‘reality’ that modern photography can appear to do. Therefore the picture is trippy and it counters the glossy perfect imagery of today. The paintings are not necessarily about what they portray but the act of portrayal. What at first may appear to be documentary or social commentary becomes less representation and more a sensory experience, a feeling of something going on.

Work of art I would like to make

Imagery and what it can do, how it can be manipulated and our de-sensitized reaction to modern imagery is what I want to work with. I will select one day where I buy all the newspapers printed and paint the images of that day using the old postcards as my influence for the ‘style’ in which they are painted.
The 'trippy' colours of old postcards and their imperfect print techniques would transfer interestingly onto modern imagery and it would explore the development of the use of colour over the past century. I think the tension between the two would create a thought provoking effect as well as being visually captivating.
Imagery and its development over the past 100 years and no doubt its further development into the future 25 years are what I want to investigate as well as our experience of colour in this time. The transformation of how colours are used and the effect they can have on an image interest me. I can't wait to get in the studio and start making the paintings.
