Item Description

ELLE’s work has been exhibited in the prestigious Saatchi Gallery in London, Urban Nation Museum in Berlin, and as a two hundred foot tall projection onto the facade of the New Museum in New York. Vogue Australia featured ELLE’s recent artworks in “32 pieces of Melbourne street art to see before you die,” and her graffiti is featured in the Tom Clancy video game: The Division. Her artwork has been published in dozens of books on streetart along with hundreds of online publications and articles.  “She holds specific and hard to find creative talent which cannot be taught nor replicated.” The Taboo Group.

ELLE  was approached to collaborate with sportswear brand Reebok. The brief was to take her energetic street style and apply it to clothing. The result, the ELLExReebok graffiti legging and subsequently, the ELLExReebok yoga capsule collection.

Within the New Nike Headquarters in Melbourne, one will find a 40 meter wrap around painting by ELLE. If in Berlin, one might see an Augmented reality installation with Samsung, as well as a 5 story wall along Gorlizer park commissioned by Berlin Mural Festival. She joined Steve Aoki headlining in an Asics Campaign “I Move Me” speaking on how her creativity is inspired by movement, and starred alongside Dani Leigh in an episode of ART BEATS, a Complex TV show. She touts a past global collaboration with Ikea, invitations to work with Kanye West’s creative agency, Curio, and more.

ELLE was invited to be Artist in Residence inside of the Rialto Towers precinct in Melbourne where she had her first Solo exhibition in Australia in December of 2018, “A Space for Sinners,” followed by a joint Exhibition and painting of a large scale public sculpture with renowned artist Judith Wierseman in Amsterdam at Vroom and Varossieau Gallery in 2019.
