Untitled Black and White Painting

Born in Canberra, recently completed a Bachelor of Visual Arts (Painting) at the ANU School of Art. I also spent 3 months in London, studying at the Slade School of Fine art in 2008 and have exhibited in several group exhibitions. The works of Linzie Ellis explore the process of painting through a variety of techniques and materials. Her works reflect the role of art in both her own life and the wider art community as she attempts to understand how a painting is viewed in contemporary art and art history. Linzie questions the potential a painting has for change as a result of recent advancements in technology.Her works can be viewed as an expression of the material qualities of paint as she creates a wide variety of striking visual effects through her playful yet contemplative working processes.
