Biography
Ken Elliott is an abstract landscape artist based in Colorado, whose work is included in private collections internationally, with one painting on loan with the Art in Embassies program, on display in an American Embassy abroad.
“My focus is the landscape and it's rich store of ideas and inspiration," Ken says. “I am compelled to work from the trees, skies, lakes and streams in their endless variations. I don't try to recreate nature (even Monet said he never got it right) or attempt storytelling.
Instead, the works are simplifications and exaggerations of nature. There was a time when I felt the tyranny of the landscape. That is, I felt limited by making pictures of a place. Now, instead of making pictures, I am free to make paintings - art that comes from nature but is far more reliant on the strategies of making good art objects."
