Ella Garvey

Ella Garvey (b.1997, UK)  is a sculptor and painter working and living in London. She graduated in 2022 with a BA in Fine Art from Central Saint Martins. Her practice centres around the mythologising of space and objects, using paint as a tool to play with form. She sees her practice as a way to explore personal narratives through the reimagining of dream symbols and collected imagery. The paintings appear as theaters of contradictions, blending myth and reality, interior and exterior, the soft and the refined. Drawing from many different sources, from folklore, religion and alchemical symbols to nature and art nouveau design objects, she aims to create mythological lyricism and poetry from the ordinary. Much like waking up from a dream, the narrative is unclear and requires the dreamer to uncover their own meanings and truths.
