Eleanor Ray

Eleanor Ray is an American painter based in Brooklyn, New York.[1] She was born in 1987 in Gainesville, Florida.

Life and work

Ray graduated from the New York Studio School with a Master of Fine Arts in 2012 and from Amherst College with a Bachelor of Arts in 2009.[1]

Her work depicts landscapes and interiors in small-scale paintings.[2] She has painted art-historically significant sites, including Robert Smithson's "Spiral Jetty" at the Great Salt Lake in Utah, Donald Judd's installations in Marfa, Texas, and frescoed interiors in Assisi, Florence, and Padua, Italy.[3] Writing about her work in 2019, the critic Kyle Chayka compared it to Giorgio Morandi and Pierre Bonnard.[4] Ray believes that the smaller scale of the paintings allows for more control and intimacy.[5] Her paintings are based on experiences visiting specific places.[6]

Ray has been the recipient of a New York Foundation for the Arts Fellowship in Painting[7] and residencies at Yaddo and Ucross Foundation.[8][9]
