From Wally Workman Gallery:
“On Saturday, November 5th, Wally Workman Gallery opens Cornucopia, a solo show by artist Ellen Heck. In this series, vases and vessels are modeled from math forms that deal with infinity, chaos, and origin. These jewel-toned, semi-surreal oil paintings contain layers of figuration under grand impasto still lifes, exploring visual metaphor and its role in revealing meaning through substitution.
Ellen Heck was born and raised in Austin, Texas. She received her BA in Philosophy from Brown University in 2006 and her BFA in Printmaking and Painting from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2008. She was an Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation Grant Recipient in 2010 and 2012. She is the author and illustrator of the newly released A is For Bee: An Alphabet Book in Translation. Heck currently lives and works in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.
Established in 1980 and located in a 100 year old historic house in Austin’s art district, the Wally Workman Gallery specializes in emerging and collected talent.
