Ellen Lesperance Land of Feminye Now on view through November 12, 2022 Derek Eller Gallery is pleased to present The Land of Feminye, a solo exhibition of new paintings on paper, sweaters, and terra-cotta sculptures by Ellen Lesperance. Expanding upon her exploration of the visual language embedded in hand-made garments worn by women engaged in acts of empowerment, Lesperance turns to the distinctive clothing of the Amazons, a nation of all-female warriors whose battles were chronicled in Greek mythology and depicted in art from the 4th Century BCE, particularly red-figure pottery. #ellenlesperance #derekellergallery Image: ELLEN LESPERANCE Amazon on Horseback, 2022 glazed terra-cotta with pigmented slip and wool dyed with oak leaves, dock, indigo, madder root, cochineal 12.75 x 11.75 x 5.25 in.
