Artist Profile
Elbow
Sydney-born painter and street artist
Elbow, the artistic pseudonym of Sydney-born painter and street artist Elliot Guerrisi-Watson, is known for his dynamic and thought-provoking works that span a variety of mediums. With a particular focus on mural and large-scale canvas art, Elbows integrates symbolism, pareidolia, and the hand as central elements in his creative process. His art draws inspiration from a rich blend of history, philosophy, and mythology, filtered through his own lived experiences. His practice spans large-scale murals and traditional canvases, where he blends brushwork and aerosol techniques, challenging conventional boundaries of painting and fine art. Elbow's focus is on engaging viewers in the creative process, shifting the emphasis away from the spectacle of art often seen in traditional galleries, and instead fostering a deeper connection between the artwork and its audience.
