Jonjo Elliott

Jonjo Elliott

Jonjo Elliott is a Leicestershire-based mixed-media artist whose paintings showcase vibrant and fantastical scenes of detailed interiors, portraits, landscapes, and still life. His unique style combines loose graphics with abstract elements, referencing art history, personal memories, and dreams. Elliott's work focuses on the interplay between abstraction and representation and encourages a youthful and joyful outlook on life, inspiring viewers to escape and lose themselves in the colors of his work.

The artist has always claimed to be a “glass half full” person and his paintings project joy. His paintings are filled with exciting colors to brighten the world around him.

Elliott says of his work, “I have a knack of being happy most of the time and I want to share this with people that see my work. I want the works to offer an escape; somewhere viewers can lose themselves for a while amongst the colors.”

A graduate of De Montfort University, Elliott has exhibited in art fairs and galleries in New York, London, Florida, and California.

Jonjo Elliott is a mixed-media artist based in Leicestershire, England, whose paintings feature detailed interiors, portraits, landscapes, and still life. Combining a loose graphic style with abstract elements, references from art history, and personal dreams and memories, each work offers a vibrant scene that is familiar yet fantastical.

Plants thrive in environments bathed in color and pattern. His focus is on the crossover between abstraction and representation, and he is constantly exploring where painting can take him and the viewer as a means of expression.

The artist has always claimed to be a “glass half full” person and his paintings project joy. His paintings are filled with exciting colors to brighten the world around him.

Elliott's career in visual art began with sketching at an early age, which led to training as a master screen printer, graphic designer, photographer, and eventually a fine artist. After receiving a first-class BA honors degree in fine art from De Montfort University, he established his studio near his home in Leicestershire. His easily recognizable style has evolved to focus on the vibrancy, color, and beauty of the world we inhabit, inspired by his desire to escape, and offer viewers an escape.

Elliott says of his work, “I have a knack of being happy most of the time and I want to share this with people that see my work. I want the works to offer an escape; somewhere viewers can lose themselves for a while amongst the colors.”
