Megan Ellen, a Canadian artist, has captivated the art world with her unique and vibrant still-life and nature paintings. Her work is a modern twist on the classic genre, using juicy-colored palettes and a kitschy, soft-focus realism that’s instantly recognizable. Ellen’s process involves composing her still lifes using 3D software, which she then meticulously translates into oil paintings.
This innovative approach has allowed her to explore the dynamic between femininity and power, often incorporating hyper-feminized objects and digital culture nods into her compositions. Her exhibitions, such as “Wet Dream” and “Modern Love”, have garnered international attention, showcasing her ability to blend Romantic and Baroque themes with contemporary subjects.
