Homage to Julian, then to Josef and Anni by Elliot Collins
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.
Elliott Collins won the prestigious Molly Morpeth Canaday Contemporary Art Award in 2024. He holds PhD in visual art from Auckland University of Technology. His work is held in significant private and institutional collections locally, including the Auckland Art Gallery, as well as internationally.
