Amanda Gayle (b. 1997, Malaysia) works between analogue and digital image-making processes, which reframe pre-existing ideas about the world. Her use of collage disrupts the trajectory of linear story-telling, inviting the viewer to elaborate and speculate on multiple woven narratives. There is often an unplanned approach to her practice which is heavily inspired by the human experience and her immediate surroundings, providing new aesthetic freedom whilst celebrating complexity and imperfection in the process.
She has previously shown in Malu Tapi Mahu (293, Kuala Lumpur, 2024), Immediate Conception (presented by A+ Works of Art, Blank Canvas, Penang, 2022), EVERYTHING HAS CHANGED NOTHING HAS CHANGED (Temu House, Kuala Lumpur, 2022), Copy / Paste / Displace (The Back Room, Kuala Lumpur, 2021), and HERE </> THERE (Today Art Museum, Beijing, China, 2019).
She received her Bachelor’s in Graphic Design Communication from Central Saint Martins, London, England, in 2020 and currently practices as a designer, specialising in publication and print design. She co-founded cloud projects, an independent publishing house based in Kuala Lumpur which focuses on art, architecture, and history within Southeast Asia.
