Aimee Melaugh

Resumen

Aimee Melaugh is a painter based in Derry. She graduated with a First Class BA Honours Degree in Fine Art Painting in 2018 from the Belfast School of Art. Melaugh was recently shortlisted for the Robert Walter’s UK New Artist of the Year Award in collaboration with Saatchi Gallery in London and had her work exhibited at Saatchi Gallery in 2021. Melaugh had a solo exhibition at Hang Tough Contemporary in Dublin in 2022 and was selected to exhibit at the MAC Gallery in Belfast as part of ‘New Exits: 10 Years of Painting Shows in 2022.

 

Aimee Melaugh’s paintings explore ideas surrounding false personas through reflecting on the relationship between true identity and deceiving appearances.  Her work can playfully hint at narcissistic tendencies and often examines the idea of exposing someone’s true authentic form after their mask has slipped and everything has been stripped away. Melaugh’s work focuses on concepts surrounding false realities with reference to film and literature as well. She often portrays this also responding to traumatic events taken place throughout history but hidden or altered by false historical narratives.
