Elliott Hundley was born in 1975 in Greensboro, NC, and currently lives and works in Los Angeles, CA.

Hundley draws inspiration for his paintings from diverse sources, but especially from his Southern heritage, along with Greek tragedy, classical mythology, and Japanese woodblock prints. He also stages improvisational photo shoots with friends and family to generate imagery for his multi-panel tableaus. Using thousands of pins, he anchors these images to bulletin-board-like surfaces, layered along with humble materials such as cut-up magazines, string, plastic, gold leaf, and other items. He frequently recycles leftover scraps from one work to the next and uses images of completed paintings as substructures for new projects, creating continuity between old and new.
