About the Presentation
Gallery 495 will debut at Independent with a solo presentation featuring work by Ellon Gibbs.

This body of work expands on Gibbs’ ongoing investigation into the theme of man versus nature. Gibbs works with an interest in how the naked vulnerability of human nature interacts with the agitation of our natural environment. There is an unspoken interconnectedness which exists between our bodies and the earth. Gibbs’ work ruminates on how unexpected changes in our natural surroundings can affect humanity.
