Homage to Julian, then to Josef and Anni

Acrylic on wood

Award winning artist Elliot Collins is known for contemporary painting and sculpture practice which distills poetic phrases into visual art forms.

This piece was first shown in Auckland, at Collins' solo show 'The Weight of Words'. Using what has become instantly recognisable as his signature colour palette of warm, slightly muted primary tones with a nod to mid-century and earthy authenticity, this work is both abstract painting and conceptual art.

The names referenced in the title of the work are the artists heroes, with each layer of the piece representing one of these figures who have loomed large in terms of their influence on his practice and approach to art making.

About the Artist

Elliot Collins

I am a text based artist who works in an interdisciplinary way incorporating painting, language, photography, installation and sculpture to discuss ideas of time, memory and ways we interpret our environment. I am interested in the art that can inform our lives and can be used as a filter or divining tool to see the world we inhabit with greater clarity and purpose. I live and work in Taranaki after moving from Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland in 2021 which has given me an even greater perspective and insight as to the power and purpose of a creative practice.
