Lorenzo Amos currently lives and works in New York City. Amos explores the nuanced intersections of art history and contemporary life through a lens that is distinctly his own. His works, deeply rooted in personal and societal narratives, employ raw and evocative visual languages that captivate and provoke. In his painting practice, Amos utilizes oil paints to layer rich, textural details, creating vivid imagery that resonates with emotional depth. This traditional medium contrasts with his explorations into contemporary realms, highlighting his versatile approach to art that bridges past influences with modern contexts. Painted mainly in his East Village New York studio, Lorenzo’s eclectic figures and objects transform under his brush and the familiar city apartment setting. These subjects become masterfully distilled by the artist in a state of intimate quietness that feels like it could vanish in any moment.
