Ellen Harvey
Ellen Harvey is a British-born conceptual artist living and working in Brooklyn. Her work frequently pairs traditional representational aesthetics with seemingly antithetical post-modern strategies, such as institutional critique, mapping, appropriation and pastiche to explore diverse but related issues such as the political meaning of ornament, the ecological implications of the picturesque, the social consensus represented by the museum and the relationship between art and nostalgia.
