Elmo emerged from London’s underground graffiti scene in the early millennium and moved to the United States to pursue his passion for fine art in 2008. Born into an artistic family (his mother is an illustrator and his sister a fine artist), Elmo has been immersed in art for as long as he can remember. His work is heavily inspired by classic advertising and figurative painting.
Growing up in the UK, Elmo’s fine art work often intersected with graffiti and street art. In addition to working as a graphic designer for London television production company Endemol UK, he spent his free time brightening rundown areas by adding color to the shutters of abandoned stores and homes.
He currently lives in Brooklyn, where he works as a freelance artist and graphic designer for a variety of companies and galleries, including his work as an aerosol artist for Klughaus.
Elmo’s work has been exhibited at Saatchi & Saatchi (London) and Klughaus Gallery (NYC).
