Artist Statement:
I believe my work tells of the
visual wonders the eye can see
despite the chaos, corruption,
distortion, and ugliness we
confront in every-day life. My
strengths are as a colorist
with a strong sense of
composition and a unique point
of view. I rely on color
theory and ...

Critics Have Said:
From a December 2007 blog:
Like many of us in the
creative life, world events
have caused Eleanor Gilpatrick
to use her artistic tools to
try and make sense of the
chaos and violence she's
watching unfold. Her series of
paintings, entitled, "In the
World," studies ...

| Your Personal Biography |
I am a contemprary realist, and paint landscapes, the figure, and still lifes that capture fragments of the world. They first arrest the viewer in terms of composition and color and then resolve into surprising takes on content. I now work in acrylic on canvas.
Prior to my art career I was professor at the School of Health Sciences, Hunter College, CUNY. Despite prizes for painting and draftsmanship while in High School, I chose to study the social sciences in college and graduate school, and became an expert in health care policy and human resources. I authored four books, directed a masters program in health services administration, and pioneered courses in critical thinking and writing. I picked up the thread of drawing and painting in 1998 in plein-air workshops in Italy, and returned to serious study at Hunter College. I am still at Hunter, but I paint there now. I think I express an affirmation of life with an occasional hint of the solitary.
I have had solo shows in Manhattan,including the Bulgarian Consulate, Eastview/Tarrytown, NY, and Milford, CT. I am on display in group shows continuously in Havre de Grace, MD.
Juried shows since 1999 include: Galleria D'Arte Mentana, Florence, Italy; the Marymount Manhattan College Gallery, Manhattan; the Cork Gallery, Lincoln Center Manhattan; the Pen and Brush Gallery, Manhattan; the Stage Gallery, Merrick, NY; the First Hudson River Art at Rhinebeck show, NY; the Westport Cultural Center, CT; The Chautauqua Center for the Visual Arts, NY; the Bowery Gallery, Manhattan; Gallery International, Baltimore, MD, where she was awarded 3rd place in the 2-D category; the Southern Vermont Arts Center, Manchester, VT; Gallery West, Alexandria, VA; Art Harvest at WEAVE, Sacramento, CA; the Riverview Gallery, Havre de Grace, MD; the Mills Pond House Gallery, St. James, NY; the Woodstock School of Art Gallery, NY; online with the American Juried Art Salon (2005, 2006, and 2007) and HerStory, Manhattan Arts International; The Riverfront Studios, Schuylerville, NY; the Touchtone Gallery, Washington, DC.; Studio Montclair, George Segal Gallery, Montclair, NJ; Fieldstone Fine Arts, Ramsey, NJ; The Organization Of Independent Artists' 5th Annual Juried Exhibition, Manhattan; The Easton Arts Council, Art In The House, Easton, CT; The Lana Santorelli Gallery, NYC; The Hudson Guild Gallery in NYC; and the Stamford Art Association, Stamford, CT (Faraway Places), the Long Island Museum (Summer on Long Island), the Hun Gallery, Manhattan and the "In The News" show juried by Morely Safer at the Pen and Brush Gallery in Manhattan.
Critics have said: '...the subtle color and powerful composition impressed me very much with both [its] chromatic sensitivity and ...natural design sense....' Dennis Wepman, author; former cultural affairs editor New York Daily News; former editor Artist Spectrum. (Private correspondence, 2004.) 'The technique and color usage...are very sensitive and give a good amount of feeling.... excellent technique and understanding of the elements.' (Juror comments, American Juried Art Salon, 2006). '... masterly touches of finesse in which texture, depth, and glass are interwoven into a work that captivates the eye.' (Juror comments, American Juried Art Salon, 2007).
A profile of my figural work and the development of my palette appeared in American Artist Magazine, November 2002. A column about my Aquarium Series appeared in Watermarks, Summer 2006. My painting, The Shell Monument, is the August selection in The Emerging Artists 2007 Calendar.
