Grimanesa Amorós (born in Lima, lives and works in New York City and Peru) is a multidisciplinary artist with diverse interests in the fields of social history, scientific research and critical theory, which have greatly influenced her work. Her process remains organic and instinctive. The intuitive relationship to technology is a distinctive feature of Amorós’ practice. Amorós researches the locations, histories and communities of the installation sites. Her works incorporates elements from sculpture, video, lighting, and technology to create site-specific installations to engage architecture and create community.〔Frank, Priscilla, (July 07, 2015), ("Artist Grimanesa Amoros Combines Architecture And Ecology For Spellbinding Public Work" ), ''The Huffington Post''.〕 Grimanesa Amorós has often drawn upon important Peruvian cultural legacies for inspiration for her large-scale light-based installations, which she has presented around the globe from Mexico, Tel Aviv and Beijing to New York’s Times Square. She continues to be inspired from Peru’s history for her art but she does not hold an essentialist or nostalgic view of her subject.〔Farver, Jane, (2013), ("Grimanesa Amorós’ Light between the Islands" ), (Litvak Gallery )〕 It feels somewhere in the art of Grimanesa Amorós, the past is meeting the future.〔 She often gives talks at museums and universities where her lectures not only attract future artists but students and faculty engaged with science and technology.〔 She was one of the speakers in TEDGlobal 2014, talking about ancient culture, landscapes and 21st-century technology.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title= Program Speakers A-Z )〕 Amorós has exhibited in the United States, Europe, Asia and Latin America. ==Early life and career== Her artistic ambitions began when she was obsessed with drawing maps at a very young age. Her mother saw talent in her and enrolled Amorós in art classes at the age of eleven. When she was in her teens, she studied Psychology and Art simultaneously. She attended the Miguel Gayo Art Atelier in Lima, Peru.〔Grimanesa Amorós Interview by 〕 When she was eighteen, she exhibited a sold-out show featuring her paintings.〔Grimanesa Amorós Interview by 〕 Concerned about her early success, Amorós moved to New York City to try to make it on her own as an artist. Once there, she won a scholarship to study painting and printmaking at the Art Students League of New York. She started mainly as a painter, but - thinking about paint in sculptural terms - eventually moved on to creating three-dimensional artworks.〔 Amorós' interests in three-dimensional artworks lead to her exploration of paper-making processes. She brought this sensibility into her work with pieces such as ''La Incubadora'' at the Roger Smith Lab Gallery.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Grimanesa Amorós」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
