Eilis Crean
"Home" - charcoal, nature, trees, large drawing, clack and white

2023

About the Item

This work on paper is framed in a natural wood frame measuring 41 by 49 inches. Eilis Crean is inspired by the works of Honoré-Victorin Daumier, Evie Hone, Patrick Pye, Milton Avery, William Kentridge, Joan Snyder, Jennifer Bartlett, Judy Pfaff and Sarah Sze. Atlanta-based Artist, Eilis Crean’s latest body of work, “Dream Abstractions,” reimages commonplace encounters. Thinking of her artwork as theater sets, she makes variations from core scenes that are recomposed, using referenced abstracted shapes as morphable & moveable props. Color & tone are used as a stage lighting director might, to vary mood & imply time. This process of reduction, a paring away of original details, editing by elimination, becomes an analogy for a type of conscious dream state in which the sense of sight is isolated - disassociated from memory & anticipation. Eilis holds an MFA from Georgia State University & a Certificate in Teaching & a Fine Art diploma from the National College of Art & Design, Dublin, Ireland. Her work is held in public and private collections including the Irish State Collection, Latvian State Collection, French State Collection, LaGrange Art Museum & King & Spalding.

  • 'August Wildflowers III' - naturalist landscape, colorful, botanical, layered
    By Carlyle Wolfe Lee
    Located in Atlanta, GA
    "August Wildflowers II" is a colorful naturalist landscape featuring hues of purple, pink, orange, blue and green. This work is framed in a simple white frame behind Museum Glass measuring 60 by 41 inches. Carlyle is inspired by the works of Claude Monet, Edouard Vuillard, Henri Matisse, Walter Inglis Anderson, Charles Burchfield, Ellsworth Kelly, Alexander Calder and Mary Delany. This piece is part of a collaborative series by Carlyle and her husband Thad Lee. This body of work was made in tandem, through painting and photography, that explores their mutual delight in the natural world and within their own marriage. Carlyle Wolfe’s paintings & works on paper are about an awareness of the natural world—becoming progressively, cyclically more present to its rhythms, gaining deeper understanding of its design, & acquiring direct experiential knowledge of its mysterious beauty. For the last 15 years, Wolfe has been making contour line drawings of plants form observation. From her drawings, she isolates silhouettes into paper stencils which she uses to create oil paintings & works on paper – or cut out of metal to make sculptures. Her work is cumulative in nature – gradually marking time & seasonal change, unity & variety, individual & collective beauty. Wolfe grew up in Canton, Mississippi, & earned a BFA in painting from the University of Mississippi & an MFA in painting & drawing from Louisiana State University. She has also studied in Cortona, Italy, & at the University of Georgia. Wolfe has exhibited work throughout the South, including Spalding Nix...
