Elle Belz - Heaven on Earth 1 - 48x48"
A solo exhibition of work by Oakville artist Elle Belz is opening April 24th 2018 titled, “Heaven on Earth.”

Elle Belz describes herself as “a contemporary expressionism artist”, referring to her modern take on her subject matter and her loose brushwork. Elle’s work reinvigorates the traditional floral still life with exaggerated scale and a contemporary palette. Many of her four and five-foot canvases show oversize white blooms in subtle pastel tones. While some panels are in bold, deep colours many take a softer approach; white tones combined with mint and icy blue, various greens, pinks and oranges for a colourful accent.
Elle marries abstraction and realism. Her works are immediately recognizable as flowers but are built up with layers of dynamic brushwork and gestural mark-making. Her expressive style allows her to capture both her subject and the emotions that it evokes.

Much of the work on display is a part of Elle’s newest series, also the title of the exhibition, “Heaven on Earth”.  Of this collection, Elle says"

​‘Open your heart, be brave, be courageous, be bold; marry fragility with strength; femininity with masculinity, light with darkness, transformation with transparency and marry Heaven with Earth.’
