Ellie Kaufmann – 1992 – Captains Flat – Australia
Ellie Kaufmann is a painter currently living in Captains Flat, NSW. Kaufmann’s artworks deal with a reflection of everyday mundane life exploring the theme of ‘one man’s trash is another man’s treasure.’ These works characterise and celebrate; a stockpiled suburbia, maximalist interiors, out-dated exteriors, meaningless collections, fantastic trash or even objects that are no longer useful but kept for aesthetic decor or to spark some nostalgic joy. Documenting snippets of her life and neighbourhood of Captains Flat, Kaufmann’s work also investigates light and colours within her residential domain, her work can be described as Australiana with kitsch and pop art colours being a repeated theme throughout the works.
