Kelly Elkowitz
Biography

Kelly Elkowitz (b. 2001, New York) is a Brooklyn-based emerging artist whose work investigates the physicality of the human form through layered constructions. Drawing on anatomical structures, medical history, and the poetics of the physical form, Elkowitz creates visceral works that merge the internal and external.

Elkowitz received her BA in Fine Arts from Hofstra University in 2023. In 2023 and 2021, she was twice awarded the Presidential Purchase Award where her works were acquired into the University's permanent collection. Elkowitz has recently exhibited at CLEA RSKY, a project space in Brooklyn, as well as in numerous group exhibitions across Chelsea, the Lower East Side, and Bushwick, including at All Street Gallery, Pictor Gallery, and One-Eyed Studios. In 2021, she was commissioned to create the inaugural painting for President Susan Poser of Hofstra University—a graphic still used by the university today. Elkowitz currently lives and works in Brooklyn, NY.
