Damian Elwes - New Paintings, 2016

Upcoming Damian Elwes Exhibition at the Serena Morton Gallery, 343, Ladbroke Grove

“The sense of painterly well-being that pervades (Elwes’ canvases) comes from painstaking research….Elwes wants the viewer to feel he is witnessing creation…to feel what it is like to inhabit each of these painters.”

Damian Elwes started out painting the studios of his favourite artists in Paris as a way of learning from the artistic luminaries. This body of work has now grown into a vast collection of stunning paintings that will be exhibited in London in November and December.

Alongside the detailed ‘Artist Studio’ paintings, will also be displayed some of Elwes’ ‘Goddess’ paintings, a series of reclining women in nature inspired by Amazonian mythology.

Damian Elwes was born in England and now lives and works in Santa Monica, California.
