2-TIMES • Art
Amanda Wall,
‘Silvering’ @
Almine Rech 
— 

“A liminal space
bounded by
opprobrium,
disassociation,
fragility, and ecstasy;
where innocence and
evil swirl together
in excitement...” 

Born: 
1985 – Hood River,
Oregon, USA. 

Based: 
Los Angeles (CA). 

The exhibition: 
‘Silvering’ is the
artist's second solo 
with Almine Rech
— a maturation of 
Wall's philosophical
deep dive. Her
previous work, which
featured warmer
palettes that melted
into her fleshy tones,
is now contended by
cool greens & blues. 

“Wall’s subjects
know exactly what
they’re doing.
They drag their
knees slowly on
the ground, crawling
towards you with
a determined look
in their eye. Their
childlike knickers
juxtapose their
primal sexual energy,
an intriguing
paradox that they
know turns you on.”
