"Tuwallu", 2008, Oil and acrylic on canvas, 52.5 x 60 inches
Stumbling around the internet last night looking for film stills of interiors, we came across the art of Minnesota based Amanda Smith and were instantly hooked. Amanda's paintings, according to the statement on her website, take various scenes from films and composite them on top of each other, creating new and beautiful spaces. More photos after the jump...
"Marsh", 2007, Oil and acrylic on canvas, 60 x 74 inches
Somewhat reminiscent of Rosson Crow's aging and over-the-top interiors, Amanda Smith's paintings head in a different direction, combining stills from both interiors and exteriors, evolving into previously unseen but still familiar places.
Amanda is reachable via her website, and at amanda@amandasmithart.com

I love that AT is posting about new artists who may be under the art world radar. Patrons of the arts make being an artist possible. Besides, I'd much rather be a patron to the arts than to a Thomas Kincaide gallery.

Gorgeous stuff but we have no idea if this is "affordable art?"

Amanda, great work. I love the witty titles almost as much as the paintings!
