Steve Ellis

Art by Steve Ellis MY AIM IS TO TAKE THE DISPOSABLE AND OFTEN TRANSITORY MOMENTS IN LIFE AND EULOGIZE THEM. I'M INSPIRED BY ROCK AND ROLL, MODERN DESIGN AND SUBCULTURE ART. I AM OBSERVING AND ARCHIVING THE IMAGERY THAT HAS COME ACROSS THE VISUAL LANDSCAPE OF MY LIFE. BY RENDERING THEM TO A HIGH FINISH, I HONOR THE OBJECT. IN WHAT APPEARS REPRESENTATIONAL, I CHALLENGE THE VIEWER TO FIND THE MOMENTS TRANSCENDING THE SURFACE STILL LIFE. I GIVE A SECRET MEANING TO AN OBJECT WHICH EXPRESSES A FORM OF INSPIRATION AND/OR RESISTANCE.
