Amy Tai
Capturing fragments of dreams, memories and emotions in her surrealist paintings, Taiwanese-American artist Amy Tai blends cultures within her soft and sensual imagery. Tai is fascinated by the intersection of waking life and the dream state through the lens of the female psyche. Often guided by the mingling of her personal memories and reveries, she paints using acrylic, gouache, and ink.
“My artwork focuses on the soft sensual moments of my daydreams, the ephemeral sentiments, and intimate memories. The bright colors contribute to the persistence of my relentless dreams. The unrestricted sense of fluidity to the dream state, one that is constantly evolving and creating, parallels the powerful fertile nature of femininity.”
As an artist, she has received attention and accolades across the USA. As the result of exhibiting her artworks at the Manhattan Borough Arts Festival, she earned the opportunity to showcase her work at both the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. Her artworks have also been exhibited internationally.
