Amandine Urruty

Amandine Urruty was born in 1982, lives and works in Paris. After having spent an uneventful childhood, overcoming the boredom between the Wednesday afternoon pony club and the study of Edika's drawn works, Amandine Urruty left the family home in order to rise socially and study the Plastic Arts in Toulouse, where she rubbed shoulders with various local accursed artists. A decade later, she interrupted, for obscure reasons, a promising career as a vocal singer, and decided to devote herself, not without a certain candor, to her first loves, namely animal painting and the representation of nude callipyge on different media: flyers, monumental canvases, body of a French popstar ...

Armed with a solid pencil technique, she drew her inspiration from the paintings of Hieronymus Bosch and from the reading of the New Detective, mixing in her wake lovers of alchemical symbolism and busty (a little) vulgar teenagers. The result is a baroque work playing a balancing act on the border that separates the noblest elegance from the most filthy vulgarity, like an improbable encounter between the Muppet Show and the fantastic Middle Ages.
