Rosemary Elliott
I studied ceramics, sculpture and fine art at Walthamstow School of Art and specialised in painting and printmaking at the Royal Academy Schools in the 1960s. My paintings were strongly influenced by Pop Art and the Photo Realists with exhibitions at the Piccadilly Gallery, Cork Street and Anthony Tooth Gallery, London. Following graduation I lectured in Fine Art at Harrow School of Art, Middlesex and the Camden Institute, London. As a contemporary landscape painter my work frequently moves between figuration and abstraction with inspiration from inland and coastal regions of East Anglia and Australia. Rather than recreating images on canvas I aim to express their deeper symbolism by taking several photographs at various times of the day to capture rapid changes in the lighting conditions. This always forms the starting point where I develop collages and colour studies back in the studio. As the work progresses onto canvas, memory and imagination play a large part in finalising the compositions. Air and light vary continually and it is capturing the essence of those changes that forms the driving force in my work. Following a recent house move from Wingfield to Brockdish, I will be displaying a selection of thrown and hand-built ceramics produced at Fire and Flux Gallery, Norwich as an independent artist. This work was undertaken during the year-long wait for the new studio to be built.
