Bio

Ellie Krakow is an interdisciplinary artist whose work spans sculpture, drawing and photography. She is currently making abstracted figurative work that combines bodily representation with forms inspired by the tools and architectures of medical intervention. Her work has been presented in solo exhibitions at Underdonk, Marinaro, Below Grand, Goodyear Gallery at Dickinson College, NURTUREart, and Cuchifritos; and in group shows at venues including Foyer-LA, Simone Subal Gallery, 1/9unosunove, Field Projects, Thierry Goldberg, Kingston Sculpture Biennial, and the Pula Film Festival. She has participated in residencies at Sharpe-Walentas, Skowhegan, Yaddo, Abrons Arts Center, Shandaken: Stormking, and The Swimming Hole Foundation.

Parallel to her studio practice, Krakow’s text-based works have been published in Precog, VECTOR, Lookie-Lookie, and Drain Journal; and her curatorial projects have been shown at The Whitney Museum of American Art, NURTUREart, and Mazmanian Gallery at Framingham State University. Krakow earned her MFA from Hunter College and her BA through study at Yale University and the Rhode Island School of Design.
