ENQUIRE ABOUT THIS WORK


Alice Ellis-Bray is an artist from Lamorna in Cornwall. She works with self made costume, painting, performance and script to explore the infinite possibilities of identity and experience. Through learning the properties of nature and the nature of people, Bray seeks to portray an interconnectedness she feels with all things. Painting has assisted her as a tool to transmute stubborn emotions laying dormant within, painting the strength she seeks in the eyes of her paintings, helping her to find a way through life with painting as her remedy. With her oeuvre she has created something of a temple to mythical women, using arch-shaped boards tinged with gold in an allusion to religious iconography, which frame ‘selfie’, ‘alter -ego’, subjects that are either direct references to well-known figures, looser notions of the primitive.


Alice Ellis-Bray has exhibited her work widely, most recently at Tate St Ives. She has also taught at a number of art galleries and schools including Newlyn Art Gallery, Tate St Ives and CAST in Helston, Cornwall. She was selected as an ‘Artist to Watch’ by Elephant Magazine in August 2022.
