Working and living in Los Angeles, Elliott Hundley is an American artist, born and raised in Greensboro, North Carolina. He studied printmaking at the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) and then later on went to UCLA to more intimately study painting and drawing. His work draws upon his upbringing in Southern culture, and is also inspired by Greek mythology and Japanese woodblock prints. His work is in the permanent collections of MoCA, Los Angeles, MoMA, New York, and Guggenheim, New York.
"With these and other images anchored by thousands of pins to bulletin-board-like surfaces, his shallow reliefs form a palimpsest that teems with humble materials such as cut-up magazines, string, plastic, gold leaf, and other ephemera. He frequently recycles leftover scraps from one work to the next and uses images of completed paintings as substructures for new projects, creating continuity between old and new." Art21.
