Amelia Biewald | Feast!

She offers scrumptious and alluring presentations of food appropriate for the grandest dinner party. No grocery stores, no pre-packaged meats. During the Renaissance, if you could catch it, you ate it, and usually ALL of it. As compared to those of the 16th century, our eating habits are boring and our display of comestibles is far less grand. Viewers will be satiated by the visual delights of Feast!

About the Artist

Amelia Biewald creates provocative paintings and installation worlds combining playfulness with seduction while maintaining an incredible level of craft. Extensive research into both historical narratives and physical materials provide a unique new look into multi-layered environments that provoke a sense of wonder and desire, but also a potential for menace. She recreates intrigues, telling stories about the confluence of myth, history, science, and scandal.

Biewald received a BFA with honors from the Rhode Island School of Design and Goldsmith’s College, University of London, and then pursued installation and sculptural work at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design where she received her MFA. She attended the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture in 2004 and has received many artist awards, residencies, and fellowships for her work including a Skowhegan Fellowship, a Bush Foundation Fellowship, and a Jerome Foundation Fellowship. She was awarded space by the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council and spent time at Art Garda Residency in Sirmione, Italy. Amelia is a founding member of the Rosalux Gallery in Minneapolis and works as the curator for The Royal gallery in Brooklyn, New York. In addition to Feast! at Silverwood Park, Amelia has upcoming exhibitions at Wassaic Project, NY (May 2022) and Rosalux Gallery, MN (August 2022).
