A quick look at...Amy Casey...

Amy Casey makes large scale, fun, creative drawings and paintings looking at the overpopulation of the world and the cities we live in.
Her pictures bring together masses of houses, factories, shops and apartments and ties them all together in massive structural compositions that expand across the canvas.
The paintings illustrate man-kinds ability to work with whatever space and material we can, to build and exploit every space possible and her bizarre worlds are filled with characters and spaces that, like the world, keep growing and growing with no apparent control.
The works are all make-believe but the way she paints and the amount of detail make them attractive to the eye of anyone interested in buildings and structures, like me.
I like the way she looks at her worlds as futuristic places to live but paints each building in a subtle antique way tying together the old and the new.
