Elly Smallwood is a Canadian artist who often creates large, figurative works in oil and acrylic paint.[1]
Early life and education[edit]
Elly Smallwood was raised in Ottawa, Canada.[2] With the support of her parents, Smallwood began experimenting with many different artistic mediums early in life.[3] She moved to Toronto to attend Ontario College of Art & Design University.[4] She graduated in 2011 with a BFA in Drawing and Painting.[4] She is currently based in Ottawa.[1]
Artwork[edit]
Themes[edit]
Elly Smallwood's work depicts images of female sexuality and LGBTQ sexuality, often exploring imagery that has traditionally been attached to femininity, such as floral patterns.[5][6][2]
Style[edit]
Her work has a painterly style, utilizing large, unblended brushstrokes and sometimes letting aggressive strokes of charcoal drawing and writing show through.[7] She often paints at a large scale, and has noted that the confrontational quality of larger pieces appeals to her.[2][5] Smallwood mixes all of her oil and acrylic hues from a limited palette consisting of the primary colors.[8]
Reception[edit]
Due to its themes of sexuality, Smallwood's work often garners intense reactions and has been considered controversial by some.[3] The artist reports that she has received threats of physical violence in response to her work.[3]
Smallwood's work mainly sells within the traditional gallery setting.[3] However, she has also accrued a large social media following, which has helped her work spread.[3][8]
Exhibitions[edit]
Smallwood has been exhibiting her work since 2010 and has exhibited in Canada, New York, Miami, San Francisco, and across Europe.[2]
Major Exhibitions[edit]
In 2017, she had a solo exhibition at the Benjamin Eck Galerie in Munich.[6][9] That same year, Smallwood exhibited at the Massey Lyuben Gallery in New York.[1][5]
Smallwood's work was in three exhibitions, You + Me, A Collection of Favourites, and Small Works II, at the Navillus Gallery in Toronto in 2015.[1][10]
She had a solo exhibition, Bare, at the Goodfellas Gallery in Toronto in 2014.[1]
