Amy Vogel

Amy Vogel works with a diverse range of media–drawing, painting, and sculpture–to investigate our tenuous relationship with the physical world. Vogel’s large pencil drawings present landscapes, both natural and manmade, that are populated by figures that exist in their own worlds, inhabiting but rarely engaging with, the spaces they are in. Are they waiting for something? Are they escaping? Are they merely relaxing? The drawings are both detailed and disintegrating, with erasure and mark-making disrupting the images.

Vogel has had solo exhibitions at Larissa Goldston (NY), Paul Kotula (Detroit), Edward Mitterrand (Geneva), and Air de Paris (Paris ). In 2014 she had a survey of 15 years’ work, entitled Amy Vogel: A Paraperspective, at the Cleve Carney Gallery at the College of DuPage. Vogel has collaborated with Joseph Grigely on many projects, including shows at Mass. MoCA; the MCA, Chicago; The Douglas Hyde Gallery, Dublin; the Berlin Biennial; the Yokohama Triennial; the French Academy in Rome, and other international venues. In the fall of 2024, Grigely and Vogel presented Things Fall Apart at Prats Nogueras Blanchard in Madrid.
