Findlay Galleries is pleased to present a solo exhibition of new paintings by Amy Magee (b. 1997), a British artist whose work brings together intuition, landscape, and art-historical memory. Drawing inspiration from the landscapes and artistic heritage of the South of France, Magee reinterprets classical principles of composition and light through the language of contemporary abstraction, creating a dialogue between place, tradition, and expression.

After relocating from an urban environment to the luminous stillness of Provence, Magee’s palette and sensibility shifted markedly. Engaging with the European tradition of trompe l’œil, she reimagines the language of landscape—gesture, pigment, and perspective—through sweeping contrasts and spatial rhythms. Her process begins with brief encounters with classical paintings, later reconstructed through intuition, resulting in compositions where passages of detail dissolve into raw, tactile paint. Petal-like forms, atmospheric veils, and gestural flourishes drift across imagined terrains, creating works that function as visual memories—fleeting experiences slowed into paint.

Magee holds a BSc in Psychology from the University of Exeter and completed a residency at the New York School of Visual Arts; her work has been exhibited in London, New York, and Florence and is held in private collections worldwide.
