Jerwood Drawing Prize at Jerwood Space London 2017
At first glance the small recent paintings of Eleanor Wood appear to have strong affinities with recent Minimalist art. They are distinct, however, in being acutely tactile and imaginatively open-ended evoking wide ranging haptic, as well as visual, associations that give the work a wistful sense of age and wear. This sense is reinforced by the fact that support and medium are so thoroughly and skillfully fused that it is all but impossible to distinguish them.
