White Columns is pleased to present I AM SHEE, a solo exhibition by the artist and musician Amy Sheffer (b. 1944, Richmond, VA.) The exhibition has been organized in collaboration with RVNG Intl., the eclectic and consistently innovative New York-based music institution. A visual artist, composer and musician, Sheffer resides in Great Neck, Long Island, where she continues to make vivid, quasi-surrealist paintings inflected with a distinct lyricism. In her multilayered compositions, Sheffer combines dreamlike motifs teeming with scenes of wild and domestic animals, bodily forms and the artist herself, all suffused with the sense of a dense, ecstatic psychological realm that threatens to spill over into the world of the mundane. Sheffer’s visual artwork has primarily been shown in the context of musical happenings and performances. Her exhibition at White Columns is the artist’s first solo show in New York.
