Amy Gillies

Hail and Ride

There is a bus stop outside my parents’ house.
It is invisible but not imaginary.
Just as the children in this town,
Are often invisible but not imaginary.

Amy Gillies is a contemporary artist who lives and works in London. Employing painting and poetry as a vehicle for social and political dialogue, her practice is concerned with the memory of the past and the politics of the present.

Since graduating, Amy has taken part in the Artists in Residence programme at One Paved Court in Richmond and has exhibited and performed in several group exhibitions including The London Art Grads Now 2021 at Saatchi Gallery.
