OUR FUTURE exhibition artist | LEE ELLIS
For me some of my greatest memories are the smallest details, the sound of my mother car, the smell of food at the Fair. I think many people have this same feeling, however the world constantly bombards us with an overload of things that seem great but upon closer look wasn’t what we thought at first.
I attempt to bring this notion of “enjoying the little things” within my work. Embracing the power of the collective as one.
I am an American Artist currently living in France. Started working primarily as a chalk muralist creating large scale works for outdoor festivals and museums. I transition to create a less public art practice around 2020 where I found myself drawn to smaller works. After being forced inside during Quarantine I started creating a series of works now where I put hundreds of post it notes with individual drawings on to a canvas. Having my first group show being in my hometown of Cleveland before I left for France and being published in Voyage Ohio and a Canadian contemporary art magazine, I’m excited to share my work with more people and letting my new environment shape my work.
