Amelie von Wulffen's paintings bring inanimate objects to life, shedding light on our mundane realities. Her work explores the historic, economic, and social conditions of painting, and she frequently appears in her own work in different guises. Von Wulffen's works juxtapose aesthetic incongruities and combine different styles of painting, re-purposing their associative weight. She has shown at major institutions and her work is held in private collections.
