straight from the press
release
On the heels of his high impact solo exhibition in London last February, UK artist
Eelus has officially arrived on the scene with an unusual set of tricks up his
sleeve. Toying with the future expectations of adolescence, while juxtaposing sci-fi,
sexual tension and poignant text, his imagery is reminiscent of a bizarre dream
you wake up from and struggle to find it's meaning. Eelus' work often feels like
a still frame from a complex film that points us in the right direction, yet still
manages to give us only enough information to draw our own conclusions.
Depending on which strings he wants to tug, his often three-color palette is
used to strike just the right emotion when applied to surfaces ranging from
canvas and wood to vintage metal signage. It all seems to be coming together as
Eelus' work continues to stir conversation amongst his early fans as well new
ones, both of whom anticipate his next print release and debate on which image
it should contain.
