CAC - Eleanor May Watson

Join artist Eleanor May Watson and Hannah Payne, gallerist and curator of the exhibition, for a private cocktail evening in collaboration with Lynrace Studio with signature cocktails served by Lynrace Spirit, and cheese and charcuterie by Popina at Lynrace. Eleanor and Hannah will give an informal talk about Eleanor’s newest body of work exploring themes of domesticity, home, and memory.

Eleanor May Watson is a visual artist working primarily in paint and print. Her most recent works frame moments of light; passing across objects within the home or captured in photographs of landscape. Vibrant and melancholic images are washed in colour and come in and out of focus; creating quiet moments in which to contemplate memory, and longing in image-making. Eleanor completed her master’s in fine art at City and Guilds of London Art School in 2019 (Distinction) where she was awarded the Slaughterhaus Print Prize and the ACS Studio Prize. Eleanor was recently winner of the Eames Fine Art Award at the Woolwich Contemporary Print Fair (2021) and was the winner of the Jonathan Vickers Fine Art Award in 2017, culminating in a solo exhibition at the Derby Museum and Art Gallery. Previously, Eleanor was awarded a place on the Drawing Year at the Royal Drawing in 2016 and completed her BA in Fine Art (First Class Honours) at Wimbledon College of Art (2012).

The show will take place between two venues - Lynrace Studio and 75b Banbury Road, Oxford - a walking tour between the two with cocktails and dreams!
