DENISE AMSES

Denise Amses (born 1957, Jersey City, NJ) is a New York based artist and curator working in painting, prints and large-scale glass installations. She takes a process driven approach, masking, cutting, and using translucent layering to create depth and interplay between shape, surface, and color. Using simple algorithmic rules, her images are formed by the interplay of randomness and emergent order.

Over the last three decades she has also created large-scale public works primarily with glass, light, and metal, with permanent installations in 30 Rockefeller Center and the Empire State Building. She has been featured in dozens of publications including the New York Times, Huffington Post, Architectural Digest, Travel and Leisure Magazine, and Interior Design. She is also the recipient of numerous awards, including the Masterworks Award Municipal Arts Society of New York, the Lucy G. Moses Preservation Award and the New Jersey State Council on the Arts Grant. She holds a BA from Philadelphia College of Art and attended Tyler School of Art Rome, Italy and Academia de Bella Arte in Perugia, Italy.
