Amber Cobb

About the Artist

Amber Cobb (b. 1980, St. Louis, MO)

Cobb has created a diverse body of work that explores the duality of the attractive and the abject. Through sculpture, painting, drawings, and installations she investigates both the primal and sensual nature of sexuality. Her work has been shown in national and international exhibitions at such venues as xiao shan xiao at the Hunan Province Art Museum in Kaifeng, China, Sweat Baby Sweat in Los Angeles, and Direct Connect in Berlin. In 2013 she was part of the Biennial of Americas and 2015 she was included in the exhibition, Thief Among Thieves, at the MCA Denver. Cobb is currently represented by Gildar Gallery in Denver, CO and Gray Contemporary in Houston, TX.
