Meet Amandine
Amandine Thony creates monochrome editions and sculptures marked by formal recurrences. Her sculptures, often in plaster, appear as vestiges of contemporary ills, witnesses destined to disintegrate. At the same time her recurrent questioning of the impact of technology on her work drives also her practice. She creates editions from digital images obtained through an algorithm that repeats and complexifies her initial drawings. Shapes unfold on paper and are brought to hybridize, creating labyrinthine compositions that sometimes reach several meters. Her approach lies at the confluence of several disciplines, combining elements of economics, computer science, and aesthetics to reflect on ornament and modernism. Amandine graduated in 2022 from the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts de Lyon and in 2024 obtained the master of Art and International Creation at the Université Panthéon-Sorbonne. In Spring 2024, thanks to the support of the Maison Française she was able to conduct research in New York for a curatorial project in partnership with the curator Elena Posokhova. While she has worked in France for organizations such as the Institut d’Art Contemporain de Villeurbanne and the Beaux-Arts Campus Association, Thony has also taken part in international projects such as co-organizing an exhibition at Hong Kong’s Run Run Shaw Creative Media Centre.
