Elizabeth Neel

The Last Thing on the First Day, 2014

Acrylic on canvas | 78 x 138 in.

In The Last Thing on the First Day, Elizabeth Neel uses pouring, printing, and dragging techniques to build a dense, layered surface that resists resolution. Swaths of violet, rust, and white sweep across the raw canvas, creating mirrored forms that suggest movement, rupture, and repair. Neel’s process-driven approach invites open interpretation, drawing from the physicality of the body and the fragmented nature of contemporary image-making.
