Running from May 1st through 30th @ Metropolis Gallery: a collection of new works from Lesley Reppeteaux and Amanda Marie

Lesley Reppeteaux:

Born in Nova Scotia, but an eventual resident of a half-dozen US cities, Lesley's brand of Pop Surrealism has been shown at Copro Nason, Thinkspace, M Modern, La Luz De Jesus, Gallery 1988, DVA Gallery and more. Though she and Amanda both attended the same art school and have shown at the same galleries, this 2-person show will mark their first meeting. Lesley's painted fables show a love of classic Disney animation and Art Nouveau, as well as a kinship with contemporary artist Camille Rose Garcia. Her new works continue the trademark Kabuki theater-influenced female figures, yet delve further into lush nature scenes and marine life.



Amanda Marie:

Amanda's vintage sewing patterns and children's book characters are vivid and graphic, bringing the audience a nostalgic warmth, drawing them into the hidden metaphors and relationships while hybridizing spray paint stencil graffiti and neo expressionism with acrylic paint. Amanda has been represented by Andenken Gallery where she shows her paintings several times a year, including Andenken's portable gallery at the Democratic National Convention in which she appeared alongside Shepard Fairey, The Date Farmers and David Choe. Amanda's work, along with Swoon and Aiko Nakagawa, is one of the few strong female presences on the stencil art/street art scene.
