Josiah Ellner
Juror’s Pick p52
Marked by bright, rich color and a decision to revel glimpses Ellner uses ominous humor, as well as flora and fauna, to reflect on our dwindling relationship to the natural world. Each of these oil on canvas works is uniquely episodic, while still sharing co-hesive gestures and themes; they land right on the border between figuration and abstraction.
