SHEmanicart work
Steve Harrington-Ellsmore, for years an outsider artist with no training, recently graduated in fine art sculpture with a live in installation at Winchester School of Art. Steve's early work includes collages, worked with oils and depicting scenes to rival a Bosch or Dali landscape. Peter Blake and Alexander Thynn (Marquess of Bath) among others have been impressed by these surreal images. The B.A. Degree show @ W.S.A. with Steve's Bus, Collaged Caravan and Festival installation on the front lawn attracted press and public. There were many comments in favor of the "hippie encampment" with only one lady being incensed by the presence commenting that she found it "As distasteful as that Tracy Wotsits unmade bed." An accolade indeed. Steve's eye for faces just has to be seen, his colour portraits some taken from the photographs of Edward. S. Curtis are an example of the commission work that Steve is seeking. These, his collage work and his installations are part of the workshops he is taking into the public sector, including schools, charity groups etc;
