The latest installment of Street Talk!!!

Ellis Gallagher, also known as ELLIS G. , is a native New Yorker and visual artist. Ellis started his career with graffiti but his tagging days came to a halt, when a friend was killed in front of him by a train while they were in the tunnels tagging. Ellis’s career path has since taken his graffiti background through different forms with mediums like chalk and fire. His work has been profiled by several New York media outlets and was the subject of a Emmy Award winning documentary, detailing his trials as a street artist.

ELLIS G. is noted for bringing Shadow Art to the forefront of street art. He outlines various iconic objects of New York’s identity with chalk via the shadows they cast . Ellis sites shadow art as an alternative but equally engaging form of graffiti that is less intrusive and more of a pleasant surprise. Ellis is part of what makes New York City a living canvas that inspires and in turn becomes a work of art.
