Studio Spotlight | Eli Kauffman

Saturated with luminous color, Eli Kauffman’s oil paintings capture the theatrical and tender experiences of becoming an adult in the contemporary world. Using iPhone photography and film stills from popular television shows as source material, Eli paints dramatic, life-sized depictions of coming of age scenes. We joined Eli in their Providence, Rhode Island home studio for a conversation on magical realism, working with color, and bringing figure painting to a wider audience.
