Read our Q&A with Central Saint Martins Graduate, multi-awarding winning designer as well as artist Lucie Davis to learn more about her artwork:

On a brisk November day, Emma Grayson (correspondent for AWS Gallery and #AWSWatch) visited with contemporary artist Amy Musto to talk about her experience working in the art world, her thoughts on her current artistic series, the future of the art world (and the elusive concept of NFT’s).

Coming from a role as a Creative Director with a background in graphic design, Amy is very much in touch with her artistic side. She splits her time between Southampton, New York and Miami, Florida. Her style today is one that has matured from the curious girl maneuvering her way through uncharted adolescence into a more intricate adult life. Spending her life travelling all over the world, it is, without a doubt, her experimental style that evokes different memories from her past.

As the youngest artist to be represented by the renowned commercial gallery, Hauser & Wirth, artist Avery Singer’s works occupy two floors - inviting viewers into an undeniably ‘electric’ and ‘vibrantly-charged’ space. Combining her use and practice of traditional painting techniques, cutting-edge digital technology as well as her interest and fascination with 70’s graffiti artists and contemporary branded imagery such as White Claw and Juul.

BIO TECH: The exhibition Anne Vieux, Audrey Large, And Vickie Vainionpää is the “embodiment of a gorgeous and seductive virtual world” hosted by NYC’s Hole Gallery. Exhibiting from October 14 - November 14, this three-woman show brought together sculpture, painting and video seamlessly. From the tiny, precise ridges in Large’s 3D-printed forms, Vainionpää’s digitally-informed, delicate oils to Vieux’s captivating, abstract paintings and video work, each piece fits together to weave a story of contemporary, technologically-advanced history as it is being written.

Capturing a juxtaposition between creativity and the structure of the digital world lies Gretchen Andrew. Born in the United States, and heavily impacted by her childhood on both the East and West Coasts, she now finds herself bouncing around Europe in the adventure of her lifetime. Without any “formal” art training, she cultivated her skills through an early career in the tech industry. By using her past education to shape her practice and goals, she has found a certain routine and, some might even say, stability, in being an artist. Her mind just works in different ways than your typical art school kid.
