Lori Ellison is an artist and writer who lives in Brooklyn, NY. Much of her work includes notebook paper drawings and gouache on panel paintings, but she has worked in enamels, egg tempera and glitter. the intimacy of size and the precisioned focus of repeated patterns on an intimate scale (all works included here are 8 1/2 x 11). The intensity of her visual work is found also in her written voice, particularly in her aphorisms. These aphorisms can often be found on her Facebook status, inviting those of us to engage in a linguistic lyrical truth similar to that expressed on canvas. Ellison says her interest is in “Proportion based on the lyric, not the epic – that is where the juice lives…. Art that is the size and resonance of a haiku, quiet and solid as the ground beneath one’s feet… A discreet art, valiantly purified of the whole hodgepodge of artist’s tricks and tics.” Lori Ellison has exhibited at the McKenzie Fine Art gallery in New York and her work is part of the Museum of Modern Art collection.
