GEORGIA ELLIOTT AT CAMBRIDGE CONTEMPORARY ART
Georgia Elliott deserves another show and she is getting one, solo this time. The Gallery brings her back this coming week for another celebration of her dynamic work. She calls her oeuvre ‘contemporary landscapes – a well -chosen title for an often brilliantly realised style. It appears accidentally abstract .Georgia’s method is almost visceral . Not for her the cloistered studio. Like many landscape artists from Monet to Turner, her work takes place in situ, en plain air as those French pioneers of the method had it. Be it a tranquil rural idyll or a seascape storm, her style is entirely intuitive and physical - she uses all manner of implements to achieve her goal.. Her instinct is towards full freedom untrammelled by any prescribed method but based entirely on her perceptions in the moment.
Magical as all art is, there is a special privilege when the artist invites her audience to watch her creative process as it happens. In the studio at the Cambridge Contemporary Art Gallery February 15th
