A Nation’s Symbols – Artwork by Steve Ellis

Steve Ellis is a New York-based artist whose work is focused mainly on contemporary consumerism. Using pop culture iconography (broken high-heeled shoes, torn magazines, disposable lighters, and a scuffed motorcycle helmet), he explores the issue with a bluntness seldom seen in most artworks. His art may be a little graphic, but one certainly can’t deny its impact. His art has also been exhibited in Australia, Singapore, Moscow, Seoul, Rome, and Tokyo. His latest exhibition is “Surge Protection” which will be shown from May 2-31 at gallery nine5 in New York.
