Consonance Ebb

Artist Bio

An American artist working under the pseudonym Consonance Ebb, she explores the themes of hidden identity and mystery. The figure of a woman, whose image remains concealed, could be anyone—a mother, daughter, lover, or muse. She acts as a guide to one's inner essence, deliberately removing herself and her biography from the work to liberate the text from the "tyranny of interpretation," echoing Roland Barthes' ideas on the "death of the author." This approach ensures that aspects of the artist's identity, such as political views, historical context, religion, ethnicity, and other personal qualities, do not influence the interpretation of her work, leaving the viewer alone with the art. Each piece by Consonance Ebb is created in the present moment and is reborn with every new interaction, as the source of meaning lies solely in the viewer's impressions. Her works are held in private collections in the United States, Georgia, and Russia.
