About the Item

4 Views with Light is a portal, it takes you on a journey. Where do you want to go? 17" x 19.5", initialed and dated lower left. Eleanor Burnette's artistic journey is a testament to a lifelong exploration of materials and themes, rooted in a childhood spent defying norms and discovering creativity in unexpected places. From molding clay in her Chicago backyard to confronting breast cancer and undergoing reconstructive surgery, her art reflects resilience and ingenuity. Burnette's sensitivity and deep connection to her African-American heritage are evident in her work, which has been featured prominently at the Virginia Lynch Gallery. Two of her paintings are currently part of a 20-year gallery retrospective at the Virginia Lynch Gallery in Tiverton, R.I., where her work is displayed alongside distinguished artists such as Jules Olitski, Chuck Close, Wolf Kahn, and Robert Motherwell. After her recovery from cancer, she earned a fellowship at the Vermont Studio Center, where she created pieces that further enriched her narrative-driven art, inviting viewers to delve into layered stories that transcend conventional boundaries, embodying her enduring passion for uncovering hidden truths through her craft.
