Elbow Toe

23-Oct-2009
ELBOW-TOE’s gallery work focuses on portraiture and abstract
narrative and is primarily executed in collage. These intricate collages
at first glance might be mistaken for paintings given that they have a
fluidity rarely seen in collages. Whilst his work has a very unique style it
draws on a rich history of figurative painting and has qualities reminiscent
of Freud, Bacon and Soutine.

ELBOW-TOE is a Brooklyn, NY based artist that has been creating
introspective urban art for several years. His artwork for the streets
is grounded in myth, symbolism and poetry and is primarily executed
in woodcut, stencil or large-scale charcoal drawings. His oeuvre is a
study of human gesture as communication and he utilizes public spaces
as stages for private moments. He is particularly interested in the ability
of environmental forces outside his control to create a timeless quality
to the work thereby allowing it to feel as if it has been memory and is part
of the collective unconscious.
