Katie Eleanor
Watercolour Photo Print of Male as Daphne with Flowers as Marble Sculpture

About the Item

Handcoloured portrait of nymph Daphne, immobilised in marble, as she is transformed into a laurel tree. Birthed in Greek Mythology, Daphne is associated with bodies of freshwater and is an unwilling object of the god Apollo’s desire. Taken from The Sialia Marbles, a series of portraits containing ephemeral human sculptures taken between 2016-19. Together these works act as tales contained in a fictional sculpture hall, in direct reaction to Andre Malraux’s 1947 Le Musee Imaginaire (Museum Without Walls). Original title: Daphne II, 2019 Hand coloured Archival Giclée Photographic Print on Fine Art Photo Rag (Cotton) paper 30.5 x 40.5 cm Unframed but a variety of framing can be available upon request Unique Series: The Sialia Marbles Signed and dated on verso About the artist: Katie Eleanor (b.1993) is a photographic artist living and working in London. She studied Photographic Arts at University of Westminster, graduating in 2015. Her practice revolves around illustrating enigmatic narratives that bridge the gap between fantasy and reality. Once she has a concept for her stories, she paints the performer(s), dresses them up and creates the sets to photograph them. Using analog photography and contemporary printing techniques, the resulting black and white prints are then meticulously hand- coloured by the artist. Katie's work has received press by The Royal Photographic Society, and her fashion stories have been published by magazines such as Hunger and Notion. Her latest body of work, The Sialia Marbles, presented at MMX Gallery, is her second exhibition in the gallery and her first solo show.

    Located in London, GB
    Katie Eleanor, ‘Your Hand, Your Tongue’, 2017 Hand-coloured portrait of a regal monarch, immobilised in marble, her reigning celebrated the blooms she becomes entwined in. The characterisation is inspired by visual depictions of Lady Macbeth, in particular, John Singer Sargent’s 1889 portrait of actress Ellen Terry. Taken from The Sialia Marbles, a series of portraits containing ephemeral human sculptures taken between 2016-19. Together these works act as tales contained in a fictional sculpture hall, in direct reaction to Andre Malraux’s 1947 Le Musee Imaginaire (Museum Without Walls).

Photographers have often used sculpture in order to challenge our idea of a “sculptural” body or object, by casting them in a two-dimensional light. I love playing with perception. A lot of my work is influenced by the nineteenth century—the pictorialist movement for instance.
