Brett Amory rose to prominence through his enduring series "Waiting" (2001–), capturing anonymous commuters in urban settings. Praised for its psychological depth and portrayal of contemporary societal alienation, the series garnered widespread acclaim. These artworks stem from photographs captured by the artist, who expressed a fascination with subjects embodying a sense of displacement, alienation, or awkwardness. In the latest additions to the series, Amory deliberately omits portions of the architecture or scenery, intensifying the overall feeling of isolation. Amory employs a realist style marked by expressive brushwork and the application of translucent paint layers, creating a hazy effect. His palette, leaning towards muted tones, explores contrasts between dark and light. Although influenced by various sources, Amory specifically cites the New Topographics as an inspiration, sharing a common goal to capture beauty in the everyday and often unnoticed aspects of life.
