Amanda Ba (b. 1998) is a painter who lives and works in New York City. She was born in Columbus, Ohio, but spent the first five years of her life with her grandparents in Hefei, China. Working closely with post-colonial theory, art history, and the aesthetics of violence, Ba’s work interrogates the relationship between formation of identity and the figurative tradition. Each body of work addresses a new topic of research, ranging from sports and nationalism to urban development in China to our relationship to the spectacle of death.
