Amie Cunat (born 1986 in McHenry, Illinois) is a Japanese American artist who specializes in painting and installation. Cunat is best known for her colorful installation pieces described as "totally immersive" [1] and "ostensibly buoyant".[2] Cunat's paintings and installations utilize biomorphic forms and vibrant hues to investigate parallels between abstraction and perception. She received her MFA from Cornell University, a Post-Baccalaureate in Painting and Drawing from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and her BA in Visual Arts and Art History from Fordham University. Cunat has had solo exhibitions in New York and abroad at the Victori+Mo, The Knockdown Center, Sunroom Project Space at Wave Hill, The Cooper Union, among others.
