Amy Gardner is an Australian born, London based multimedia artist whose work bursts with bold colour and uplifting energy. Celebrating womanhood and the power of women supporting women, she draws on the hidden labour and physical movements of female experience to create pieces that feel both instinctive and rebellious. Using found images from 1950s advertising archives, she smashes idealised notions of the perfect woman, revealing how archaic stereotypes still echo in contemporary culture.
Her process is playful and non-conformist. Gardner merges lino, screen and monoprint techniques with gestural swooshes of ink, collage and photography, often employing unconventional tools like spatulas, brooms and wallpaper brushes to push paint across the surface. She deliberately mis-registers stencils and embraces imperfections, allowing each season of work to tell a different story while hinting at the subtle ways women have historically subverted their allotted roles
.
Working from her home studio and communal print spaces across London, Gardner produces vibrant compositions that dance between abstraction and figuration. Her use of energetic movement, colour and flow creates uplifting images that champion uniqueness and celebrate our flaws. Her work can be found in private collections worldwide and is exhibited at galleries and international art fairs throughout the UK.
In addition to her studio practice, Gardner founded Aunt Joy Gallery, a collective of female artists aiming to improve representation of women in the art world and pave a smoother path for young female creatives. Through her art and advocacy, she continues to make a significant impact on the contemporary British art scene.
