London

We
create
beautiful
art.

​Elinor Rowlands Artist statement 
​Disabled and neurodiverse artist, Elinor Rowlands, is a polymath and makes art in a multitude of layers - experimental sound artist, film artist and painter. She is affected by stimuli. Information from the five senses: vision, auditory, touch, olfaction, and taste, the sense of movement (vestibular system), and the positional sense (proprioception), is sensed, but perceived differently.

​When sensory information is received, information is processed by the brain in an unusual way that causes distress, discomfort, and confusion. She challenges untrue assumptions that drives exclusion to make art accessible to all. Relevant previous experience My art films have been exhibited in Whitechapel Gallery, the Yard Theatre, Battersea Arts Centre and numerous group exhibitions around London. I have also performed my writing at Tate Modern, and have been invited to give keynote talks at various conferences and universities on the power and importance of diversity -challenging systemic failures and addressing untrue assumptions tha​t ​wipe out
diversity.

Works are Media Ink on paper

 I am a polymath so I make art in a multitude of layers.

​What would you say about London? How would you say it? 

Painting in ink is fast like the sights my eyes track on the train journey to Waterloo station. The paintings are of the people I pass in London, diverse and captivating, my eyes catch detail because of my photographic mind ​ I spot details, the views as I experience them.
​London like a mirror image of yourself, stays the same, it might be dressed up or 

down but the essence of the place,
​​ its beating heart, always, beats, pulsating its roots all around, connecting everyone that darts in and out of lanes, passages, over bridges, underground, tied together with invisible string.
London is its city because of its people, 
if I look long enough, people will always look back, as the buildings and trees do,
we witness each other in the moment, knowing maybe this will be the only connection for the rest of the day,
because as much as we take each
other in, life moves swiftly, there are
days when won’t speak to a soul.
