AMY MAGEE (b. 1997) is a British artist working across painting and murals. Her practice sits at the intersection of intuition and art-historical memory, shaped by years spent living and working in the South of France and by classical principles of composition and light, reimagined through the language of contemporary abstraction. Bringing these influences into conversation, her work explores the relationship between expression, place and tradition.

Her process draws on a broad art-historical vocabulary, from Renaissance and Baroque painting and frescoes to Abstract Expressionism. Light, pigment and rhythm are absorbed in passing, then recalled through intuition rather than direct reference. Operating like visual memories, her paintings build seemingly natural yet ambiguous environments through broad gestural strokes, petal-like forms and atmospheric veils that move across the canvas, inviting the viewer not simply to look at something, but to feel inside it.

Magee earned a BSc in Psychology from the University of Exeter before completing a residency at the School of Visual Arts in New York. Her background in psychology informs an enduring fascination with perception: how visual information is interpreted, completed and felt by the viewer. This interest finds a natural counterpart in the intuitive processes of Abstract Expressionism, where gesture becomes a trace of emotion and experience.

Magee has exhibited internationally, including in New York, London and Florence, with works held in private collections worldwide. Selected exhibitions include Couleurs du Sud, Findlay Galleries, US (2025); School of Visual Arts, New York (2025); Museo Bellini, Florence (2023); and Battersea Affordable Art Fair, London (2021–2026).
