About Ella Carty

(B.1971 Nairobi, Kenya) 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. I create 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 live in Penryn, Cornwall and my studio is at Krowji in Redruth. I am currently represented by Tregony Gallery in Cornwall and by Eleven and a Half at the Affordable Art Fair London and others across the Country. I have exhibited widely in the U.K. and sold my paintings to clients in the U.S. Canada, Australia, the Far East and Europe.
