Location:

London

ABOUT:

Elliot is a London-based artist whose work uses camouflage to explore masculinity within contemporary culture. Influenced by childhood experiences of video games such as Call of Duty, alongside skate culture and streetwear brands including Maharishi and A Bathing Ape, his practice positions camouflage as an emblem of a specific cultural moment of fragmentation within male identity. Reframing camouflage beyond its military function of concealment, Winspear explores a masculinity shaped by shyness, compassion, and fear, where ambition is often restrained by concern for others. As an artist, he works against these impulses, using his practice to confront rather than retreat into digital distraction and self-concealment.

SUPPORT WORKING CLASS CREATIVES (1).png

'Working Class Creatives' responds to a need which is too often overlooked in the arts; that of the barriers facing working-class artists from getting on in our sector. They are instrumental in initiating much-needed change that will see the art world become more inclusive and reflect the society it purports to serve. I often search their database in my research, it is a vital resource for any arts professional working in culture today. That they have got this far on so little financial resource is remarkable and I am excited to see what they will achieve with further support.” Beth Hughes, Curator, Arts Council Collection.
