About
Ellen Hackl Fagan is an interdisciplinary abstract painter who believes that synaesthesia can be taught. Through interactive tools and crowd sourcing, Fagan is developing a corresponding language of color to sound, using installations, interactive games, and collaborations that combine hercolor-and-texture saturated paintings with music and digital technologies.
Each installation invites viewers a chance to explore synaesthesia for themselves.
Fagan's work walks the balance between randomness and intention, and, like jazz music, continues to reveal limitless possibilities for improvisation.
In 2014 she became focused on the core of my creative search in her abstract work and began by creating a small series of works on paper titled “Seeking the Sound of Cobalt Blue.” This series has evolved into floor to wall installations of blue paintings on paper and on the floor that explore the nature of printmaking processes, texture and surface.
Ellen Hackl Fagan is the inventor of The Reverse Color Organ and the ColorSoundGrammar Game, two projects that enable viewers to interact aurally with color. In collaboration with cognitive scientist Michael Cole, the Reverse Color Organ is a web app that you can download to your phone, which puts this synaesthetic tool into peoples’ hands to be used not only to expand the language of color, but also as a crowd-sourced musical instrument.
In June of 2014, Ellen Hackl Fagan expanded her independent curatorial practice into a full time business and is now the owner of ODETTA Gallery in Bushwick, Brooklyn. There, she maintains her painting studio and has become an active member of this vibrant arts community.
In her curatorial practice, Fagan is focused on bringing together contemporary artists in unexpected pairings. This introduces artists to like-minded practitioners, and fosters collaboration. ODETTA’s program is focused on Color Theory, Minimalism, Glyphs, Buddha Mind, Fluxus, History, Humor, Psychedelia, Ephemera, Science, Math and Music.
Fagan also creates art collections for the healthcare industry, placing contemporary art in facilities throughout Connecticut and Massachusetts, often introducing a featured local artist in these collections.
Currently, the artist has two solo exhibitions at Real Art Ways, Hartford, CT, Winter 2017, and the Mid-Manhattan Public Library Windows, Spring 2017, NYC. Group exhibitions include the annual Sideshow Gallery, Brooklyn, and coming up in March, A.I.R., Brooklyn, NYC.
Awards include the RADIUS artist residency through the Aldrich Museum of Contemporary Art, a $2500 grant and exhibition through the Stamford Museum & Nature Center, and Fagan is shortlisted for an Art in Public Spaces Percent for Art Commission through the State of Connecticut.
