Jeff Elliott

10 feet x 2 feet'

Collage, Acrylic paint, Marker on Canvas

This current work is part of a series called Banners. They all measure 10 feet by 2 feet, the size of most street banners. This was the first in the series.  Memories, influencers before they were influencers, films and patterns make up most of this work. A stream of visual consciousness on canvas for your viewing pleasure.

Patterns of a famous designer's brand and images from the film 2001 A Space Odyssey and a still from the Road Runner cartoon. Abstract flowers turn into collaged planets which turn into General Custards stomping grounds and Diane Arbus’s creepy twins show up.
