Elise Mendelle

Elise Mendelle is a London-based contemporary artist whose figurative work explores the emotional depth and complexity of the female form through bold, expressive brushstrokes and a pared-back use of colour. Her paintings capture moments of introspection and experience, blending realism and abstraction to evoke the hidden stories within her figures. Elise's work has been featured in prestigious exhibitions across the UK and internationally, including a sold-out show with Oreofe Gallery in Paris and highly regarded shows in London’s Notting Hill, Highgate, and Piccadilly Circus.

She won the Director's Choice Award leading to her first solo show at London's Henarch gallery and participated in Saatchi's The Other Art Fair in 2025 and 2026. Her art continues to resonate with audiences worldwide, offering a compelling exploration of identity and emotion.
