“Arms Now Legs” by Elizabeth Neel at Salon 94

Salon 94 is pleased to present Elizabeth Neel’s first solo show with the gallery “Arms Now Legs” opening June 30 through September 11, 2021.

Being the granddaughter of the portrait artist Alice Neel, Elizabeth Neel is both informed by and diverges from her grandmother’s legacy. “Arms Now Legs ‘is a reference to the beginning of Ovid’s Metamorphoses. Much like the epic poem, Neel’s paintings metamorphosize out of a collage of remnants. For Neel, these remnants are comprised of the intimate and alienating hues and affects collected while attempting an instinctive integration with the outside world. She pours paint into the folds of paper and presses it to canvas, creating an inert effect. Never forming a uniform line of focus, she creates a choreography of her process.
