Elliott Routledge (b. 1984), also known as Funskull, is a contemporary abstract artist based in Sydney, born in Tokyo, Japan. Renowned for his striking public art installations across Australia and various parts of the world, Elliott's work finds a harmonious balance between expressive mark-making, abstract form, and sculptural elements of varying scales. Influenced by his outdoor public practice, his paintings and sculptures reflect the interplay between intimate pieces and large-scale canvas works that interact with surrounding architecture. Through this process, Elliott draws parallels between the façades of buildings and the façades people present to the world. His art, which transforms personal experiences and emotions into abstracted portraits, has been showcased globally, including notable landmarks like the Pitt Street mural in Sydney and the SODO Track international mural festival in Seattle, USA. Represented by Madison Gallery in California and Olsen Gallery in Sydney, Elliott's captivating art is a testament to his exceptional talent and creative vision.
