Ella Kate Harrison
Harrison plays with colour and works intuitively, obsessively repeating these motifs and marks, she allows the painting to grow and spread like roots.
Ella Kate Harrison is a British artist whose practice centres on colour, rhythm, and the intuitive movement of mark-making. Trained in embroidery and visual arts, she approaches painting as both a meditative and physical process — layering lines, textures, and gestures that accumulate like patterns of memory or growth. Her works oscillate between abstraction and landscape, capturing the quiet pulse of repetition and the emotion embedded in colour. Recently, her practice has expanded into clay, where hand-built vases extend her painterly language into three dimensions, echoing the organic, tactile rhythms that define her visual world.
Harrison is a painter and colourist from North Yorkshire. She has lived in South London for the past decade. She studied at Manchester School of Art followed by an MA (Visual Arts) at Camberwell College of Art (UAL), where she was awarded the Rector’s scholarship.
Harrison can be found working from a studio in Brixton, creating abstract paintings or working on commissions. She exhibits regularly across London and her work is held in private collections. She is interested in colour, line and pattern, working intuitively and finding peace and solitude in the act of making.
