Elph at Recoat Gallery
We have been massive fans of Elph for a couple of years now when we saw his work pop up in an Art Gallery in Darlington!!
Since then he has gone onto bigger and better things. His own Exhibition opened on Friday at Recoat Gallery in Glasgow it was super busy and they sold half the show in the first hour. Check out the photos from the opening, a selection of his work and the mural they did with him at the Glasgow School of Art HERE
Plus, there was an extensive interview with ELPH in the Scotsman last Wednesday, check it out HERE
For those that don’t know, ELPH is a Scottish illustrator, animator, graphic designer and graffiti artist based in Edinburgh. He is famous worldwide for his big nosed, “wino” characters that now float and stroll around the streets of the UK. He has exhibited across the UK and internationally and was recently included in the Tristan Manco, “Street Sketchbook”, published by Thames and Hudson. ELPH says, “There are many mixed ideas in the show, a bit like changing the channel on your cable television every 2 minutes. The show goes from war reportage to booze Britain and then to some weird fashion programs.”
The show is open 12-6pm Tuesday to Sunday and will be de-rigged on the 23rd of April 2008.
