Narragansett (2019) Painting by Eleanor Anderson

Painter Eleanor O’Keefe Anderson explores an eclectic mix of ideas in her work from seascapes and landscapes to abstracts and recently more narrative and humorous subjects, all constructed with multiple layers of oil paint and frequently cold wax, sand, and stone dust; applying the different materials with something other than delicate brushstrokes – a process that involves scraping, rubbing, sanding, and gouging her canvasses and wood panels. The more layers that build up on her paintings, the more paint and grit are strewn about her studio and clothing, and the more she sweats - reflecting the intensely physical nature of her practice and, ultimately, the immersive quality and sheer physicality of the work itself.
