Amy Stephens FRSS

Last September, Waking Matter II, 2025 was installed @dulwichgallery by the Director @jenartscott and Creative Producer @alexmoorephoto Waking Matter II uses over 1 tonne of ‘surplus’ marble from the Carrara quarry in Italy – famous as the source for Michelangelo’s Renaissance sculptures. By walking around and under the sculpture, viewers can reflect on the potential of art to emerge out of natural materials. This public artwork is free to visit during opening hours as it is sited alongside other artworks including @robandnick @makikoharris @harold_offeh in the Lovington Sculpture Garden designed by land architect Kim Wilkie. It is open daily from 10-5pm. #publicartwork #publicrealm #sculpture Amy Stephens is represented by @artseen_contemporary Cyprus Fabrication @msomarine London

How do you enter the art world? Can you make it without going to art school? Can you get back into the art world after years away? Join us on Sunday 17 May at @form_i_c_a to find out.

Decennial: A Creative Legacy - A beautiful publication created by @artseen_contemporary to celebrate 10 years of the gallery in Nicosia, Cyprus. I feel honoured to have been part of this journey with such an array of incredible artists. From 3 solo exhibitions to an artist residency @nimac_cy to @vima.artfair last year. The geological landscape of Cyprus has become home from home. Congratulations @mariastathip - Thank you for trusting and believing in me but also for forcing me to take risks with my artistic practice. Here’s to the next 10 years.

Rehearsal I, II and III, 2025 where architecture is able to infiltrate everyday objects, nature crosses into sculpture and minerals define the space. Polished stainless steel structures are anchored by pieces of surplus Cypriot rocks and minerals expanding the existing architecture and forming a codependency between nature and the manmade. Rehearsal I, 2025 Stainless steel, mineral 35 x 5 x 7cm Rehearsal II, 2025 Stainless steel, mineral 35 x 5 x 8cm Rehearsal III, 2025 Stainless steel, mineral 35 x 5 x 8cm 📷 Nicola Louca

Part of my artistic process is the reappropriation of an existing artwork or matter from our daily environment. This process holts the moment an artwork is sold and leaves the studio. I’m thrilled to see a commission I made for a client in the UK that has now moved with the owner to Boston. Five different tree species including hazel, elm, beech, willow and oak branches are cast in bronze. The metal frames the natural element that is rooted in a complex conversation surrounding the various environments that we move through and work within on a daily basis. State of Play, 2022 Bronze H220 x W200 x D200cm

There is something so special when a collector sends you images of the artwork installed in their home 🙏 Crystal Matter, 2023 Marble, steel H138 x W47 x D50cm #Italy #snow #sculpture #marble #contemporaryart

💥LAST CHANCE Nature’s Stage exhibition by @amystephensstudio has been extended till 24th of January ⚡️Visit Monday, Wednesday, Friday 16:00 - 19:00 or contact us to visit by appointment “For Amy Stephens’ third solo exhibition at Art Seen, the artist stages potent encounters between the Cypriot landscape, sculptural materials and the human body. She creates dynamic spaces for questioning the relationships between people, places and the role of art to reframe a sense of environmental belonging. Stephens is a writer of forms. Everyday materials are carefully constructed into objects that transform and disrupt the physical landscape. In this exhibition, artworks have been assembled over time in an unrestricted way. Architecture infiltrates objects, nature crosses into sculpture and minerals define the space.” Text by @annasouter - Writer and Curator ✨The show is curated by @mariastathip with a great text by @annasouter #amystephens #artseen #artseengallery #contemporaryart

I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud, 2025 Archival pigment print, tape H31 x W22.5cm This photographic collage depicts a lush area found on the eastern coast of Cyprus. The title of the artwork is by the 18th century English Poet William Wordsworth where he describes an encounter with a field of dancing daffodils. These famous words are embossed onto silver tape and reinserted back onto the image. The poems draws inspiration from the immediate landscape capturing the healing powers of the natural world. The exhibition Nature’s Stage is open in Nicosia, Cyprus @artseen_contemporary until the 16th January. Gallery opening times are Monday, Wednesday and Friday 4-7pm

Golden Matter, 2025 Bronze, flock, wood 23 x 17 x 16cm In this artwork, the artist has sourced a piece of celadonite mineral that often forms in altered volcanic rocks like basalt through hydrothermal action or weathering. The mineral has been cast in bronze and highly polish offering an insight into the artist’s process. The precious metal is pitched against the striking velvet green texture, a nod to the delicate landscape. The bright shade is like a painted note against the hard material of the bronze raising conversations about the codependency of nature and the manmade. The exhibition Nature’s Stage is now open in Nicosia, Cyprus @artseen_contemporary Monday, Wednesday and Friday 4-7pm
