Born 1989 in Southampton, United Kingdom- Elmo Hood is a self taught contemporary artist specialising in collage and pop art styles. Elmo currently resides and works out of Brisbane, Australia. Elmo's work first came to notoriety in 2013 when he created a collage out of two playing cards. The piece was a viral hit and secured a number of international exhibitions along with a firm celebrity fan base. His first playing card pieces focused on portraying human emotion through the cards using a variety of methods to achieve this effect such as cutting and burning the materials. His work is now best described as a fuse between pop art and traditional collage. Elmo uses a variety of materials and painting techniques to build his paintings which form into both familiar and abstract shapes. Kings and Queens feature heavily in his work along with references to the paranormal and religion. The narrative in his work is often a clear one of love, loss and reflection inspired by personal tragedy experienced.
