Elise Ansel @ Cadogan Contemporary
30 November 2021 - 18 December 2021
‘Polarity’ is a concept that has always defined Elise Ansel’s practice. Using energetic gestural abstraction, she reinterprets old master paintings into a contemporary pictorial language, and in the process creates a tension between the source material and her own artistic voice.
Through her work she aims to set aside the narrative and pictorial elements of painting; thus creating room for new interpretations and perspectives, often contradicting their original intentions. The tension between these two poles charges her process of creation.
