ABOUT THE ARTIST
Elwes began his career in the 1980s as a graffiti artist in New York City. He was later convinced to turn to painting by the renowned street and pop artist, Keith Haring. Elwes works were singled out by famed London gallerist, Robert Fraser, and were included in an 1984 exhibition at the Fruitmarket Gallery in Edinburgh alongside pieces by Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat. Elwes eventually became drawn to representations of the artist’s studio. He subsequently moved to Paris between the years of 1986-87 where he began seeking out studios for artistic material. In 2018, his solo exhibition at the Musée en Herbe in Paris attracted over 100,000 visitors. In 2019, Elwes paintings were exhibited alongside works by Eugène Delacroix at the Musée Delacroix in Paris. The exhibition sought to reveal and explore the artistic process through representations of artists’s studios.
