"Covered in Sky" features large and smaller scale paintings and sculptural work. Trachtenberg’s work focuses on the primacy of color, pattern and how materials communicate. The social, cultural and political find their way into her work in languages of abstraction. The constructed paintings draw on labor, craft, tactility and history.
Amy Trachtenberg is a San Francisco based artist working in painting, sculpture, installation and public art. She received a BA in French Language and Liberal Studies from The Hutchins School at California State University Sonoma followed by the Diploma of Fine Arts from L’Ecole Nationale Superieure des Beaux Arts in Paris. Absorbing the world while living and traveling in Europe, India and N. Africa, architecture and the histories of ornamentation were prime focuses.
She was also influenced by her work with soft materials in the studio of artist Sheila Hicks where she assisted in fabrication and installation of work at the architectural scale. Trachtenberg’s work has been shown and is in private and public collections including The Berkeley Art Museum/PFA, The Achenbach Collection of the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, The San José Museum of Art, The Crocker Museum, The De Menil Collection and The Haitian Embassy in Paris.
Her engagement in design collaborations includes many permanent public projects such as Groundwork, for a San José library, Counterpoint at Montalvo Arts Center, Saratoga, CA and Ecstatic Voyaging in the new 1000’ long BART Station in Milpitas, CA opening in late 2019. She has designed sets and visual elements for over a dozen theater, opera and dance performances.
