Ellen Lesperance The 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 Images: ELLEN LESPERANCE The Land of Feminye, Fair Isle, 2022 gouache and graphite on paper; sweater of undyed Hebridean wool and wool dyed with madder root, wild chervil, nettle, and bramble leaf hand-knit by the artist 39.5 x 30 in.
