Eleanor Cowell's work explores communication in the modern world, through relationship to landscape. In the work, she references the emotive grandeur of the Sublime period using traditional oil painting methods. These emotive landscapes are disrupted by symbols, gestures and colours to create abstract yet familiar, otherworldly environments. The visual disruptions, translated through different painterly languages are inspired by technology, popular culture, memories and bodily sensations. This conflict of information and sensory descriptions visually explore the theatrics of the present day.

 

Eleanor Cowell studied Fine Art at The University of Leeds, and is currently studying on a part time Masters at City and Guilds Art School. She runs Art Wellness Workshops around the UK for private and public events, as well as teaching painting across London and working as an Events Manager at Somerset House Exchange. She has worked as an assistant for multiple high profile Artists, and has held a plethora of creative based roles.  She is currently based in London.
