Derrelle Elijah (b. 1994, Birmingham) is a London-based artist whose work explores the overwhelming visual landscape of contemporary society. He examines the gaps in perception that emerge as we are constantly bombarded with images, illuminating the overlooked spaces between them. By blending gestural and mechanical processes, Elijah creates works that transcend traditional mediums, re-contextualising how information is communicated and experienced.
Starting with a function free mentality, an intrinsic overlay of research into early civilisations, universal language, traditional/forgotten processes, art history and contemporary news allows his work to start with an investment into investigation and ideation. Juxtaposing non-traditional combinations with redaction to create a coherent piece/series of work.
