Pond, 2006, oil on canvas, 60" x 74"

Amy Talluto’s paintings are dynamic, evocative and incredibly personal. While on the surface these works may appear to be conventional landscapes, in actuality they are anything but. Instead of creating work through direct observation, Talluto uses photography to initially capture her subjects. Talluto’s painterly technique and startling palette illuminate the internal landscapes of the artist. As a result of this process her landscapes have been invented as much as they have been observed.
