Colour, space and the French connection: Interview with Elly Wright
By Susan Wood
I met Elly Wright in the light, spacious studio in south London that she’s had for about 14 years. Colour is very important to her, as I found out – as is space and a love of France.
 
Have you always painted?
No. I was born in the Netherlands and as a child I went to museums in Amsterdam a lot with my grandfather – I loved the works of Rembrandt, Vermeer and Van Gogh. But I actually studied languages and worked for many years as a Secretary and PA, and later had a career in public housing. It wasn’t until 1987 that I started drawing and painting classes at City Literary Institute (City Lit), then did a BA at Chelsea College of Art and Design, graduating in 2000. Continue Reading »

Kent Cornfields 2009 70cmx70cm oil on canvas

Genre: 2D Painting

Artists Statement:
Living in London so much of my world is full of buildings, noise and people all of which can make for a claustrophobic atmosphere.
I am fascinated with depicting the sky. Constantly moving and shifting cloud formations, changes of colour in the subtlest and the most dramatic sense and the ever changing effects of light.
I have a passion for big skies, open spaces and the sense of freedom which they give me. Continue Reading »

Genre:
2D: Painting.

Artist statement
My work explores, the relationship between a child’s mark making and abstraction, and the friction between the freedom of childhood expression and the process of reproduction by a trained artist.
I reproduce my daughters’ drawings by tracing, enlarging and repeating their spontaneous scribbles and gestures into oil and acrylic paintings and colour pencil drawings. Continue Reading »

Artist statement:
My work is primarily in glass, investigating hybrid cultural references. I merge visual narratives from personal histories, disparate experiences, travel, movement and popular culture. The inherent glamour of glass as a material is an inspiration.
