Born
and raised in New York City, artist ELLIE ALI's paintings were first inspired
by the jazz and literary worlds of the nineteen fifties and sixties, and
then by her traveling and painting in North Africa, Europe and India. She
has exhibited widely and is a prolific and serious painter.
Her medium is an unusual use of acrylics, chinese ink, wax and oil paints on
paper. Paper has always been her co-conspirator; always surprising in its
versatility. Ellie Ali is a self taught artist.
The human figure is a constant in ALI's work. They speak to
her. She listens.
ELLIE ALI's paintings are collected internationally. |
