Eleanor Conover (born Hartford, CT in 1988) is an artist whose work engages with the physical and material conditions of painting as a medium and as a metaphor for environmental time and experience. The work converses with historical painting languages, bringing open-ended, process-based work into conversation with a more perceptually-rooted understanding of depicting light and space. With an interest in land and the environment, she has additionally engaged in the research of geologic histories in Philadelphia, PA and visual work regarding ecology in coastal places as remote as the Aleutian Islands, AK. Recent exhibitions include White Columns, NY, NY; Abattoir, Cleveland, OH; List Gallery, Swarthmore College, Swarthmore, PA; Hudson House, Hudson, NY; and Bad Water, Knoxville, TN. She was the 2022 Donald J. Gordon visiting artist at Swarthmore College, the 2020-21 recipient of the Wellesley College Alice C. Cole ’42 fellowship, and received a post MFA teaching fellowship at the School of Art, University of Tennessee, Knoxville. Her practice has also been supported through artist residencies including The Sam and Adele Golden Foundation, New Berlin, NY; Cow House Studios, Enniscorthy, Ireland, and the Joseph A. Fiore Art Center, Jefferson, ME. She earned an MFA in Painting and Drawing from Tyler School of Art and Architecture, Temple University (2018) and an AB in History and Literature from Harvard College (2010).
