Amy Kaluzhny
 

Amy Kaluzhny (b. 2001) is a London-based artist whose work explores the dynamic relationship between dance, movement, and the physicality of materials. Originally from Boston, Massachusetts, she relocated to the UK to pursue her art career and is currently studying for her Master’s in Fine Art at Chelsea College of Art. Her work invites viewers to experience the emotional power of the body, considering how movement and materials communicate beyond the physical.

​

Kaluzhny’s practice draws from musical theater, film, dance, and music, approaching each piece as a staged environment where visual projections interact with painted and photographic backdrops. Taking inspiration from the theatricality of West End musicals, she constructs immersive spaces where choreography, digital media, and fine art converge. Her paintings function as both set design and active participants in the work, allowing projected imagery to shift and dance across the surface.

​

She works between gestural mark-making, layered projections, and moving bodies, using technology as a tool for movement rather than a fixed outcome. Her practice is further informed by cultural theories, particularly lipstick feminism, which advocates for women’s autonomy and self-expression. For Kaluzhny, dance is not just a visual motif but a transformative act—one that impacts physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Through her work, she invites viewers to engage with themes of empowerment, connection, and movement, creating spaces where personal and collective experience intertwine.
