Amanda Andersen, Edifice II, 2024, Ink on Paper

“Edifice” is a group of small works on paper created in 2024 by Amanda Andersen. This series of contemporary drawings explores architectural forms with elements of abstraction, sketching out structures that defy the bounds of possibility.
Each artwork presents abstract compositions that evoke a sense of monumental scale and geometric harmony, with aesthetic influences of Minimalism, Op Art, Geometric Abstraction, and Constructivism. Lines intersect and overlap reminiscent of both minimalist grids and op art illusions. High contrast patterns layered with neutral beige, light pink and cream colored shapes to build imagined objects that transcend conventional architectural.

Artwork is initialed on the back.
Thick archival quality paper; Aquarelle 300g matt natural white.
This is an artwork on paper, and therefore not ready to hang. All marks / smudges are part of the artmaking process and intended to remain part of the artwork.
About the artist: Amanda Andersen has been a professional artist for over 10 years; working mostly in acrylic paint on canvas. Her work balances minimal compositions with bold, high-contrast patterns and vibrant colors, navigating a space between the abstract and figurative. Inspired by the rigid lines of Agnes Martin and organic forms of Eva Hesse, she also adores fantasy films, surrealism, brutalist architecture and a really smooth gradient. Her work has shown internationally, including: the Kunstraum Kreuzberg in Berlin, Tiny Creatures in Los Angeles, the National Centre for Contemporary Arts State Museum in St Petersburg. Her work has been featured in Art Review, Art Kunstmagazin and is held in many private collections including the MOMA Art Library and MACBA Barcelona.
