"On the walls, the work of Brian Adam Douglas (also known as 'Elbow-Toe') thrills. His gorgeous collages are so papery and textural, colourful and luminous that they look like vibrant, painterly Old Masters." - Ken Russell, The Times AUTHOR: Under the name Elbow Toe, Brooklyn based artist Brian Adam Douglas has been pasting his distinctive woodcuts, stencil work, large-scale charcoal drawings and collages onto the walls of cities all around the world throughout the past decade. His diverse practice is anchored by an interest in the human gesture as a powerful form of communication, one charged with unspoken narratives and he transforms public space into a stage for these private moments. 39 colour images
