Eleanor Daly b.1999 Amsterdam, Netherlands
Eleanor Daly is a figurative oil painter who uses her energetic painting process and confident command of colour to tell stories. Her practice is rooted in a love for the act of painting, and an understanding of the role of the painter as a vessel. Dalys work is an autobiographical exploration of lesbian dynamics, fan studies and how painting can be used as a means of self-understanding. Using representational images and appropriation of paintings history, her work is honest, not shying away from humour nor pain.
