LJ Ellam is an interdisciplinary artist born and raised in Gloucester.

 

Using tongue in cheek imagery to explore the grief around their physical body; making things messy and mocking of their ego and their relationships. The work falls somewhere on the spectrum of masochistic caricature and deadpan-humoured fetishism, craving to be visible.

 

A sadist of art, overly cynical and sometimes an embarrassment, making the reality of their suffering to be apparent and more importantly compulsive to watch.

They specialise in no specific medium, using sculpture, projection, installation and video, as well as 2D methods. They aim for what feels authentic, what looks stupid and what is ultimately uncalled for, pushing the boundaries of what they can get away with.
