Collection: Eloise Govier

Magwyd Eloise yng ngorllewin Cymru. Ar ôl graddio gyda MA ac MLitt mewn Hanes Celf, teithiodd i Fflorens (trwy Baris) lle mynychodd ddosbarth lluniadu byw yn yr enwog Charles Cecil Art Atelier. Yn fuan wedyn teithiodd i Mitte, Berlin - calon y sîn gelf gyfoes yn Ewrop - lle bu'n byw mewn stiwdio gelf. Yn 2008, dechreuodd Eloise ei hymarfer proffesiynol fel artist ac mae wedi arddangos yn genedlaethol ac yn rhyngwladol byth ers hynny.

Mae Eloise yn peintio gyda phaent olew ac acrylig, gan greu paentiadau lliwgar, nodedig iawn sy'n gyfoethog o ran gwead a symudiad. Trwy waith cyllell palet emosiynol sy'n aml yn cerfio i'r paent, mae hi'n ffurfio darnau mawr o olew llyfn ar gynfas, gan gyfleu teimladau o "frys ac uniongyrchedd" ym mhlygiadau a chrychiadau'r cyfrwng.

Eloise was raised in West Wales. After graduating with both an MA and MLitt in Art History, she travelled to Florence (via Paris) where she attended a life drawing class at the renowned Charles Cecil Art Atelier. Shortly afterwards she travelled to Mitte, Berlin - the heart of the contemporary art scene in Europe - where she lived in an art studio. In 2008, Eloise began her professional practice as an artist and has exhibited both nationally and internationally ever since.

Eloise paints with oil and acrylic paint, creating highly distinctive, colourful paintings rich in texture and movement. Through emotive palette knife work that often carves into the paint, she forms great swathes of slick oil on canvas, communicating feelings of “urgency and immediacy” in the folds and ripples of medium.
