Amanda Lydért’s two works from the series Boy, It Is All We’ve Got appear as two hyper-modern reliefs, consisting of print, transparent sheets, and aluminum. They are streamlined and abstract as well as undefinable in motive while they also speak directly into a very contemporary image culture, dominated by the pixel aesthetic of the internet. The work Boy, It Is All We’ve Got (3,67 ms) presents colored, almost aetheric, fields that float in and out of each other. Boy, It Is All We’ve Got (24/7) has figurative elements since a woman with blond hair seen in profile is pictured at the top of the image surface. Lydért’s works also contain words and letters. Thus, the sentence “Baby leopards be grinding forever” stands at the bottom of Boy, It Is All We’ve Got (3,67 ms). Where many visual artists have used language as a direct element in their works, they appear with Lydért as an extra connection to the internet aesthetic where word and image often go hand in hand.
