About Amelia Lovell

 
 
  • Biography
    I have recently graduated from UAL with a First Class Honours degree in BA (Hons) Fine Art. Post degree show, I was contacted by Helen at Artfinder who invited me to take part in the annual Grad Week 2022 show after seeing my work on the walls. I have always been passsionate about art, having been awarded an art scholarship at my senior school (2010-2015) and a 3-year-long scholarship at univeristy to study Fine Art (2019-2022). I don't just belive in the aestheic value of art but the meaning behind it. My art is an outcome from years of reseach on the Renaissnace period as well as having a keen interest in both feminism and our environnent. Therefore, I now use the term ecofemism when describing their combined link. The connection between women and nature goes back centuries, as does the prioritisation of ‘masculine’ society over ‘feminine’ nature. From my dissertation, the story of Adam and Eve is reflective of the social practices both during the renaissance and continued to modern day. Eve was a representation of female humanity, and her act gave men the excuse to look down upon, condemn, and even discriminate against practically all the women in their lives. By reclaiming the image of my body and drawing parallels between its submissive form and the pliancy of mother nature’s, I aim to reassert the importance of ecofeminism and the role the female body plays in our perception of Earth’s value.
