Ella Smart is a British artist born in 1999 in Bristol. She is currently studying a Fine Art degree at Birmingham City University.
Her practice is driven by her deep connection to nature and interest in how we interact with it as humans. Her intuitive process examines her instinctive decision making in relation to assembling art directly in the landscape. Ella wants people to experience art in the context of a beautiful surrounding, creating an experience as the viewer discovers her work there.
Ella works mostly sculpturally, but has also utilized photography, film, digital manipulation as well as sound in her practice.
Post-Distance is a crucial display of work by final year, graduating BA (Hons)Fine Art students. It represents their commitment and ingenuity, a testament to their resilience at the end of a difficult year. Working across different media and contexts, this exhibition highlights what is possible, how limitations need not restrict and how it is always a good time to be artist.
