AMY NELDER AMY NELDER (B. 1971, American ) Color has always been a huge factor in my work, reflecting not only the emotion that I feel when I paint, but the emotion I want to feel, and the emotions I want my viewer to feel. Color tells the story. But changes in emotion are also often followed by changes in the ordinary objects we use in our everyday lives. The clues on a breakfast table can narrate a whole passage of events from the night before. With my new work, which I am calling my “Pop Trompe L’oeil”, I am interested in mixing the traditional dark, serious Trompe L’oeil with the whimsical humor of Pop Art to investigate relationships – the appearance and heroism of everyday objects reflecting the heroism of ourselves in our own everyday situations. I love the element of surprise: At first, you’re looking at a dark, sexy wine painting – but then you blink, and there’s a box of your favorite cereal paired with a $400 bottle of French red, and it’s funny – but it also tells a story. - Amy Nelder Amy Nelder is in private and corporate collections in the United States, Canada, Hong Kong, Brazil, Israel, Thailand, Mexico and Germany including the Zurich Insurance corporate collection (NYC), Sports Engineering and Recreation Asia, LTD (Bangkok), Buena Vista Café (SF), Tosca Café (SF) and GESD Capital Partners (SF).

She has appeared regularly in local newspapers as well as local and national television programs including the San Francisco Chronicle, the San Francisco Examiner, Evening Magazine on KPIX, CNN, Fox News, MSNBC, Art World News, and Art Business News. Amy has been selling her fine art for over 15 years. She began as a Mythic Realist – painting upbeat, bright, and magical urban scenes of great cities from San Francisco to New Orleans to New York to Paris. Most recently she developed what she coins Pop Trompe L’oeil – images incorporating the humor of Pop Art with the seriousness of the trompe l’oeil genre. Amy comes from a rich San Francisco tradition. Her grandfather, Al Nelder, was the revered former Chief of Police for San Francisco and her mother, Wendy, is the former president of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors. Earlier in life she trained as a professional opera singer and was invited to study by top instructors from both the Metropolitan Opera in NY and the San Francisco Opera. As a pop singer she opened for such greats as Ray Charles and was courted by Santana management. AMY NELDER WWW.CHLOEFINEARTS.COM/NELDER 2 AMY NELDER’S NEW TAKE ON LIFE, ART ART WORLD NEWS “My work is defined by my lifestyle,” says artist Amy Nelder, who is also co-owner with her husband Greg Lejnieks of the San Francisco gallery Chloe Fine Arts. Amy is referring to her new Pop trompe I’oeil style that emerged when she was expecting their baby daughter Chloe four years ago. Amy, whose work is in private and corporate collections worldwide. began as a Mythic Realist, painting upbeat. bright. and magical urban scenes of great cities. Then, half-way through her pregnancy. she became obsessed with creating paintings that incorporate the humor of Pop Art with the seriousness of the trompe I’oeil genre. “I never had any pregnancy cravings for food,” she laughs. “but I had cravings to paint sweets and desserts in trompe I’oeil style. I thought it was a phase, but it took over my life!” She found it delightfully amusing to “trick the “After the Black and White Ball” by Amy Nelder - SOLD viewer.” which is the essence of trompe I‘oeil. “to deceive the eye.” Acrylic on Canvas - 30” x 60” - $15,000 and create incongruous parings, such as a $400 bottle of wine (also available as a limited edition print) with a cheap chocolate bar. And these Pop Trompe L’oeil images became all her own as they related her new lifestyle since the advent of baby Chloe. “Hot Date” is a great example. “We now had ‘hot dates’ in our living room because that was our lifestyle with a new baby.” Red roses, a bottle of wine, fruit and bread and cheese, brought home in a brown paper bag. It’s a behind the scenes view of life. In another painting, champagne, and a TV remote control are juxtaposed. “After the Black and White Ball” is the aftermath for a couple of an evening at a very sophisticated ball, followed by an elegant dinner out, and then going home, taking their shoes off, and enjoying a downto-earth slice of chocolate cake. “It is me meditating on what is going on in my life. “In addition to her paintings and prints.
