“The Girls” by Ellen Gordon
The Mayor’s Gallery will showcase a retrospective of artwork by Ellen Gordon. The exhibition will feature a selection of figurative collages, drawings and landscapes. Her work is inspired by her drawings from private sessions with her model. The collection on display speaks about the creative magic that happens when inspiration and form collide. The artwork itself is the result of a searching process – finding the shapes and lines in both the figure and the landscape and transcribing those lines into contemporary compositions.
Ellen Gordon’s art training is from the Greenwich Art Society, Silvermine Arts Guild and the Rowayton Arts Centre. Gordon, a resident of Stamford, holds an undergraduate degree from Boston University and a master’s degree from Baruch College, NYC.
