ILENE BELLOVIN | MIXED MEDIA AND COLLAGE

My art practice has evolved as a natural and deeply personal extension of my professional career in photography and visual research for books, magazines, film, and museum projects.

 

I build my work drawing from a wide range of sources including  printed matter, magazines, snapshots, correspondence, and my own photographic and drawn material. These elements  are layered and reworked, often in dialogue with paint,  The resulting compositions are both constructed and organic, reflecting an ongoing investigation into composition and narrative.

 

I received a BFA in Painting from the School of Visual Arts, where I studied with conceptual and minimalist artists  of the time whose approaches to form and reduction continue to inform my thinking. 

 

Since 2017, I have been an active member of the Mamaroneck Artists Guild, where I participate in exhibitions and contribute to a vibrant community of artists.
