Bio
Glenn Ellul (b. 1991) is a self-taught artist whose fascination with the intricacies of local architecture, particularly monumental architecture, began from a very young age. He graduated with a B.A. (Hons) in Graphic Design & Interactive Media and has since participated in numerous collective exhibitions and collaborative projects, while also contributing to the production of various interdisciplinary design ventures.
In November 2021, Ellul held his first solo exhibition, titled Structures of the Mind, which showcased his distinctive architectural visual language. Over the years, he has developed a unique artistic style that combines architectural motifs with intricate ornamental language, articulated through an imaginative and highly meticulous approach using ink on paper.
Drawing from personal memories, travels, and observations, Ellul constructs intricate imagined spaces that exist between the real and the surreal, the ancient and the futuristic. His artistic process functions both as a form of self-expression and exploration, where architecture becomes a means of translating internal thoughts, emotions, and experiences into complex visual environments. Through delicate line work and dense spatial compositions, his works invite prolonged contemplation and immersive viewing.
