Amelie Mancini is a French-American painter and printmaker based in Brooklyn, NY. Working primarily in oil and watercolor, her work explores the shifting boundaries between interior and exterior realms, between memory and physicality. Through flattened perspective, bold color, layered patterns, and energetic mark-making, she creates scenes that feel at once familiar and dreamlike. Female figures—often mothers or daughters—move through these spaces in ways that suggest a dynamic entanglement with their often fractured surroundings.
Originally from France, Mancini received her BFA in Visual Arts from the Sorbonne University in Paris. She was a 2024 participant in NYC Crit Club’s Canopy program, where she worked under the mentorship of Matt Phillips. Her work has been exhibited nationally and internationally, including online with Blue Shop Gallery in London (Works On Paper 4 and 5), mepaintsme’s 2023 Open Call, and in group shows at Hashimoto Contemporary (New York, NY), Maake Projects (State College, PA), 81C (St. Thomas, USVI), Gallery 198 (Brooklyn, NY), and Canopy (New York). She is the 2021 recipient of the Royal Watercolour Society Award. Her work is included in private collections and in the permanent collection of the National Baseball Hall of Fame.
