Elliot works in both oil paint and oil pastel. His narrative paintings take influence from mid-century expressive painters and portrait photographers.

His distinctive, naive and surreal style taps into his background in illustration. Seeing his subjects as characters they are often reworked into new paintings and drawings allowing you to form your own narrative. 

Elliot also works from life, capturing an endearing primitive frankness in his models which he translates into each piece. 

He has exhibited in the U.K. and Australia and has successfully worked on commissioned portrait projects.
