Philosophy

Eleanor Herbosch (1999) is a British born, Belgian multidisciplinary artist who manipulates a variety of materials to create textural works of art. She is a graduate of London’s Central Saint Martins. In 2019, whilst still studying, she founded her practice in a small studio in the back of her garden in Antwerp, Belgium, where she still resides and works.

Her adopted means of expression are ceramics and painting which are united by a common denominator: earth, her material of choice. Eleanor’s work is characterised by expressing the potential of natural materials with the intent of enhancing their intrinsic qualities. She has always been drawn to a very tactile method of working. She wishes to create an enhanced visual experience that’s a pure pleasure for the senses. “Materiality is crucial in my work since it translates automatically into its visual intention, to reach a sense of visible composure,” Eleanor says. Texture is the principal element in her studio practice and a signature aspect of her work. The underlining narrative within her practice is all about the material. She finds herself on a constant artistic quest for an impromptu collaboration between materiality and harmony.
