Kate Neave

Ellipsis Prints is run by Kate Neave, a curator, creative producer and art writer based in Brighton.

Kate has worked across large-scale international exhibitions and collections, including Manifesta 11 and the Soho House collection, and writes extensively on contemporary art. Her curatorial work is rooted in long-term artist relationships and a commitment to structural change within the art world.

Ellipsis brings these strands together: commissioning, writing, advocacy and community-building, focusing on artists whose practices deserve greater recognition.

Our story

“I launched Ellipsis Prints as a way to take direct, practical action. As a curator and writer, I am continually inspired by the depth and ambition of work being made by women and non-binary artists.”

At the same time, the disparities in representation and opportunity remain stark. Progress is happening, but slowly, and unevenly. Ellipsis exists to contribute to that shift in a tangible way.

Each edition is a small but deliberate intervention: a means of redistributing attention, resources and long-term support. Until equity within the art world is no longer aspirational but structural, projects like Ellipsis remain necessary.

Our mission

Not just visibility,
but momentum.

Ellipsis Prints was founded to address a structural imbalance: women and non-binary artists remain significantly underrepresented across galleries, collections and institutions. Rather than waiting for those structures to correct themselves, Ellipsis works directly with artists at pivotal stages in their careers, commissioning editioned works that extend and consolidate their practices.

Each project approaches print not as reproduction, but as translation. An edition becomes a site of focus: a shift in scale, circulation or material that allows an artist’s thinking to move differently. We work closely with each artist to develop editions that feel rigorous, intentional and aligned with their wider practice.

Ellipsis is both a commissioning platform and a quiet form of advocacy. By funding production, facilitating sales and building a considered collector community, we aim to create meaningful, sustained support—not just visibility, but momentum.

How we work with artists

An extension of
an artist’s practice.

Ellipsis Prints commissions limited edition works with contemporary women and non-binary artists whose primary practices often lie beyond printmaking — in painting, sculpture, installation or performance. Rather than reproducing existing works, these editions are developed as extensions of an artist’s practice, translating key ideas into a new material form through close collaboration.

The works sit alongside an artist’s wider output as part of the same evolving language, offering collectors a way to connect with practices that are shaping contemporary art while helping to address their ongoing underrepresentation within traditional structures.
