ELEANOR GILPATRICK

New York, NY

Eleanor Gilpatrick is a contemporary realist. She paints landscapes, figural works, and still life’s that capture fragments of the world that arrest the viewer in terms of composition, color, and content. Working in acrylic on canvas, a modern colorist, she expresses an affirmation of life with a hint of the solitary. Recent work includes the "In the World" series, a nebula series, and landscapes. She offers the experience of connection through the visual images she paints.

Gilpatrick's work includes strong, romantic landscapes set in New York and places she has traveled to in the US and Europe. She is influenced by the 19th Century sensibility of Turner and The Hudson River School, but expresses a 21st Century strength with vigorous brushwork, strong composition, and powerful or surprising content. The work with the figure looks at people in motion at a moment in time, absorbed in the activity of their daily lives, wherever that may be.
