Elise Mendelle is a Canadian artist living and working in London. Using acrylic paints, her expressive brushstrokes and stripped back subjects explore our connection with our female self, looking at passion, purpose, strength and empowerment. Her work is both anonymous but recognisable, allowing viewers to insert themselves straight into the narrative to identify with the presented scene. Elise aims at rethinking the female gaze and looks at how we interact with ourselves and our surroundings, exploring internal lives and individual perspectives. Elise's work is focused on style, fashion, confidence and feeling good in our skin.
Elise is inspired by contemporary figurative artists, such as Alice Neel and Julian Opie, and has developed her practice into a loose and rhythmical style. Interest in her work continues to grow, with her paintings now part of collections worldwide. Her practice began when she took part in Artrooms Roma exhibition and has gone on to be an active participant in London shows and exhibitions and exhibiting with galleries in Portugal, Italy and Spain. Elise has been part of Studio Fridays emerging artists group in North London since 2020 and has recently begun a collaboration with design house Urban Cotton in The Netherlands.
