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.

Reality Pants
Genre:
2D Painting, 2D Print, 2D Textiles 2D Mixed Media & 3D Fashion related
Artist statement:
It fascinates me how obsessed people get, particularly women over their fashion and the accessories to their outfits such as handbag, shoes etc. Many 100’s of pounds are spent on many 100’s of accessories which are collected, cared for and loved as a possession. Magazines are packed full of the temptations of each seasons must haves, shops are full to bursting with many shops specifically tailored for just accessories. Continue Reading »

‘Light Cherubs’ 2008 from In the Mists of Time Series – A2 photograph Digital print on Hahnemuhle Fine Art Paper
Genre:
2d Photography and 3d installation and video
Artist Statement:
Photography for Izzi Ramsay is concerned not only with the image itself, but also with the underlying, and sometimes subversive, meaning in what is represented. Recent photographs are of formal gardens showing that they are not only places of natural beauty, but also have a wider recreational and cultural significance for people of all ages and abilities.

This work bridges the divide between photography and fine art. Continue Reading »

Across a range of different mediums, including painting, sculpture, sound, and video, ‘Girls at Gold’ is an exhibition that not only exemplifies the potential success of working together, but also shows off the talent and quality of work that is produced by women artists across both art colleges.

This Autumn’s Tuesday evening lecture series – The Canvas Ceiling, starting on January 12th, includes: An Unsuitable Job for a Woman? ; Frida Kahlo – a life on canvas ; Art and the F-Word: Feminism ; Modern Mothers ; Georgia O’Keeffe ; “Mad Tracey from Margate”
This series examines the involvement of women in art, not as models to be painted by men for men, but as significant artists in their own right. From the 17th century to the early 20th, female artists were very much in the minority. Two women were amongst the founder members of the Royal Academy in 1768, but it was 168 years before another woman was permitted to add ‘RA’ to her name.
