ELISE ANSEL: CORRESPONDENCE
RINALDO AND ARMIDA III Oil on Linen
I create abstract paintings that are derived from Renaissance and Baroque depictions of bacchanals and figures
in the landscape. I use paint as a vehicle for feeling or sensation rather than as a means of illustration. My
method is inspired by Cezanne's idea of "le petit sensation," of using each brush stroke to communicate a
sensation that is both optical and emotional. The paintings begin with a specific pictorial point of departure but
then resolve into abstraction as the representational content is balanced and ultimately eclipsed by my focus
upon color, composition and the materiality of the paint. Linear, rational readings are interrupted and replaced
with a capacious awareness of the sensuous possibilities of paint. The paintings reference the potential for
transformation and are a meditation on the role of beauty.

BLUE HILL Oil on Canvas 40" x 60" 2012
I am particularly concerned with the particularities of light and the ability it has to make the ordinary exceptional,
and how it can impact our understanding of place.
My most recent work explores some of these ideas through the conceit of the window or threshold, as well
as through the relationship between photography and painting. I have begun to more fully examine the role
photography plays in our understanding of experience, and some of the associations that we assign to it. My
interest is focused on the areas of transition between spaces, ideas, methodologies and media. Where these
things interface fascinates me, and drives my curiosity to examine the world around me more fully, seeking a
deeper understand of my experiences.
