Jennifer Amadeo-Holl lives and works in the Fort Point Neighborhood of Boston, and was a founding member of the Artist Building at 300 Summer Street. Her roots bridge an immersive arts household on Cape Cod and the island of Puerto Rico.
Her work explores the complementarity of abstraction and representation, and the relationship between individuals, the animate and inanimate. Geometric forms may combine with organic, curious, and accidental shapes to make inferences to recognizable forms, while rendered objects fuse, morph or sit juxtaposed with abstract shapes. She finds the world simultaneously mundane and fantastical, and therefore see the incorporation of imaginary imagery as native to reality; that is, the ordinary is the imaginary.
She has received a New England Foundation for the Arts Award, a NEFA-Benton award, the Harvard University McCord Prize in the Creative Arts, a Benjamin A. Trustman Fellowship, and a Swedish Institute Fellowship. Her work is represented in public and private collections, including AFA Konstförening, Addison NY, Biogen, Cristal CCU, Fidelity, Excel, Harvard Management, The London School of Economics, Meditech, Oxfam International, Svenska Institute, and Swedish Television.
Jennifer earned a BA from Harvard University, and studied at the Royal Swedish Academy of Fine Arts, Stockholm, Sweden.
