Amanda Edgecombe

About The Artist

Amanda Edgcombe is London born and grew up amidst the patterns and changing shape of the city which have inspired so many of her ideas in print, glass and on canvas.

Amada Edgecombe’s exhibition, Loop, was held at the cut February/April 2023.

Early in her career, diverse art movements such as De Stijl, Abstract Expressionism and Geometric Abstraction had a strong impact on her way of seeing art amidst a cumulative experience of 1970’s London with its trends in fashion and interiors and the changing urban landscape.

However, it was a course Edgcombe took as a teenage at Putney Art School with Eric Larmont which introduced her to expressive ways to draw and paint and the vast possibilities of mark making.

Following this, a BA in Painting and MA in print at the Slade lead to a fellowship in Architectural Glass at Central Saint Martins.

As a multidisciplinary artist, Edgcombe has worked for architects and designers, including as an image researcher for international architects, Eric Kuhne. She has project managed glass installations, interior and landscape designs and styled events with a wide range of international clients.

Her design practice allowed her to develop a more theoretical relationship between the architectural and painterly dialogues and many of the paintings and prints started in 2008 have developed as direct references to previous commissions and experience with architectural renovations. Often derived from literal or observed subjects, drawn, photographed or from memory, they are constructed initially using collage and mark making as an immediate response to place and materials.
