OVERVIEW

Amadour (born in 1995, Sparks, Nevada, USA) is currently based in Los Angeles and New York City. Amadour earned dual B.A. degrees in art and art history from UCLA. They are an independent curator, artist, writer, and musician presenting works of painting, music, sculpture, and performance. Amadour merges the visual and musical realms to create sensory experiences, combines the power of musical performance with the grand vistas of landscape and abstract paint. Influenced by artists such as Donald Judd, Ettore Spalletti, Wassily Kandinsky, Julie Mehretu, and Hiroshi Sugimoto, they creat intricately layered paintings that act as dynamic back- drops to their enthralling musical performances. Amadour has also interviewed numerous artists as a writer for Frieze, The Brooklyn Rail, and Cultured Magazine, and has released their debut EP, Western Movie Dream as a musician. He is also a member of the Interna- tional Association of Art Critics (AICA).
