Ellannah Sadkin is a pop artist based between upstate New York and Devon, UK. Known for her bold black lines, vibrant flat colors, and a mix of organic and geometric shapes, her style is often referred to as comic abstraction. Growing up in the 90s and being a huge fan of cartoons, Sadkin credits drawing The Simpsons characters as her initial introduction to cartooning.
As a teenager in downtown New York, she was deeply influenced by the city’s lively street graffiti scene. “Living near Keith Haring’s pop shop helped shape my understanding of graffiti and pop art,” she says, a sentiment that later influenced her compositional style and led her into the world of super flat art.
Having also lived and worked in both London and New York City, Sadkin considers herself a transatlantic artist. As a self-taught creator, she draws inspiration from artists like Frank Stella, Takashi Murakami, and Franz Ackermann. Her unique take on cartoon aesthetics has been described as “Ren and Stimpy on acid meets Takashi Murakami.”
The canvases of Hildegarde Handsaeme are a series of Odes to the woman. Not only in the plasticity of the body, but especially in the expression of sensuality, in the search for feelings that inhabit it and that it arouses. Nudity is omnipresent, the forms are generous, the attitudes are all slices of life.
Guided by the line, inhabited by the forms In a few years, Hildegarde Handsaeme has created a completely original style, in harmony with the technique used. A style dominated by the line, the color and an innate sense of balance. These bodies with precise contours, dominated by the curve, contrast with the narrow, meet in the movement they draw.
She does not call for hallucinating images bet lets herself go with sensitivity guided by an unfailing intuition. Even when the figures at first sight seem distant they point to a certain duality and yet her usage of colours express a honest alliance between the data and the deeper thoughts.
Simply and honestly Hildegarde gives us the message of love and tenderness which should be shown to each individual. In a pictural equilibrated and harmonic way she knows how to remind us of the glamorous intuition of woman. (F. De B. 1997).
Hildegarde Handsaeme's best artworks are those that reflect her unique blend of nature and womanhood. Pieces like "Eve," "Woman with Fish," and "Ladybird" have been praised for their harmonious and mystical qualities.
