Artist bio: Ellis Gallagher has paid his dues time and time again on the streets of NYC and throughout the world, as he has created an iconic technique that is recognized globally. Gallagher is the quintessential street artist, having created a highly unique and stylized interpretation of urban, suburban and rural landscapes and their surroundings that most people take for granted. Through the enhancement of shadows with sidewalk chalk, his artwork is the very definition of temporary, marking a specific time and place that few are lucky enough to stumble upon.
Ellis Gallagher's shadow chalk drawings seek to enhance the beauty of everyday objects and mundane scenarios that are routinely overlooked. Chalk drawings of bicycles, street signage, fire hydrants, milk crates, shopping carts, fences, plants, and trees inspire curiosity and encourage the viewer to pause, observe, initiate conversation and experience their surroundings with a renewed sense of optimism.
Ellis Gallagher is a native New Yorker. As a former graffiti writer, his work can be found in New York City and beyond, in Autograf: New York City's Graffiti Writers by Peter Sutherland (Powerhouse Books), in The Street Art Book: 60 Artists In Their Own Words by Ric Blackshaw and Liz Farrelly (Collins Design), also in the art textbook Making Art Connections: Visual Arts years 7 and 8 (McGraw-Hill Education), in Banksy's street art documentary film Exit Through The Gift Shop, as well as in numerous newspapers, magazines, on television and in films. Gallagher's work has also appeared in numerous publications and features.
