ELEANOR CROW
Falling Light
5 Fournier Street, Spitalfields, London, E1 6QE
21 June–6 July 2025
An exhibition of 38 new interior and still life oil paintings by Eleanor Crow
Many of these paintings are made in kitchens – the hub and heart of the house, café or restaurant, and the most repeatedly visited space. Kitchens are often a repository of things collected throughout life and contain things that have been handed down, creating an ongoing history, or a story. Once these spaces were hidden away; now we want to be in them, to see what is happening there. Kitchens are like a theatre, the objects in them the props; a kitchen lays open the skill, labour and love necessary to the alchemy of raw ingredients being transmuted into food.
The ongoing activity of domestic life means that items are constantly moved or replaced, while the light shifts and changes as Eleanor paints, so that nothing is ever quite fixed. She seeks to paint those unrepeatable moments of light falling in a particular way, over particular things, in a particular place…
