Amy Mizrahi
My current work embodies themes surrounding gender, identity and mental health. It is very autobiographical and I often attempt to engage the viewer on an exploration of my own personal thoughts and experiences.
Within my current work I tackle my own personal experiences with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and everyday life. I am seeking to create an understanding of the complexities and misconceptions within OCD, in a way that represents both the debilitating reality along side the ‘sane normality’.
Humour and colour are a vital element within my work, allowing me to present difficult topics in a sometimes humorous or crude way. While working across mixed media, painting is my main practice. Using water colour, oil and acrylic paint, my paintings often take on a very surreal and abstract form. Bold and brightly coloured, my work is a form of expressionism that asks the viewer to really question it’s meaning.
