Contemporary Paintings By Ella Carty
This is the work of British contemporary artist
Her portfolio is full to the brim with wonderfulness and vibrant paintings. I love the energy and simplicity of her works.
In her own words:
I am a painter who investigates my own experiences of the world.
I am interested in describing a process of perception, discovery and regeneration.
Spitting out paint and matter as I go along. A messy and rewarding process and something that keeps me endlessly satisfied.
Creating layers of associations from scavenged sources.
A slurry of art history, of physical landscape and emotional encounters and all the fictions I have constructed in between, especially the fictions I suppose.
I like the idea of other possibilities underneath layers of paint.
Liquid pools of cobalt blue stubbed out by crimson or layers of specter grey. In this sense I come from a long line of painters obsessed with paint itself. Its smeariness and smell seduces me.
I rarely have a plan.
I want to be surprised.
