Ellen Juell

Working with rapid, streamlined brushstrokes and bold primary colors, Ellen Juell creates works that connect on a deeper level through their purity of expression. Her interest lies mainly in figures and facial expressions – themes that recur through her canvases. Juell employs a stylized, partly abstract method, which owes much to both the Impressionists and Expressionists. She prefers acrylic over the more traditional oil paints as this gives a speed and immediacy to her work which adds immense vitality and verve. Acrylic also allows an intensity of color without bleed and which dries rapidly, so colors appear fresh and vibrant side by side. For Juell, the process of communication is essential, as communication is the keystone of all artworks. Within the artworks the viewer can identify and add their own experiences to the pieces. The communication of inspiration and optimism is one of the driving forces behind her work.

Ellen Juell currently lives and works in Oslo, Norway, and has exhibited widely.
