“I aim to express something ‘beyond the veil’, that is the veil between the physical and the non-physical,
the body and the spirit, and the divine.
What goes on beneath the surface, like looking into a pool. The ever-moving transient nature of it.”

Hello,
My name is Elliott Lusk and I’m an artist from Dundalk, Co. Louth, Ireland.
I work with mediums from paint, to glass, to clay and anything else I can get my hands on, really.
I’m also largely self-taught, and I have been doing art in some form for as long as I can remember.
My main goal with my work is to express the inner experience, the emotion and soul of it, outwardly on the canvas – and make it physical,
and the ‘invisible’, visible.
I want to make viewable the essence of whatever the subjects of my paintings are.
I aim to express something ‘beyond the veil’, that is the veil between the physical and the non-physical,
the body and the spirit, and the divine.
What goes on beneath the surface, like looking into a pool. The ever-moving transient nature of it.
I’m also a musician and I see, in many ways, abstract art as the closest physical medium to music.
It is deeply personal.
There are no barriers or limitations with abstract work, which is one of the many things I love about it.
And whoever you are, wherever you’re from, whatever your background, you can connect on that level.
And it’s automatically intimate.
I think stained glass has a similar intimacy to it. It’s a collaboration with the sun.
The sun brings a focus to the beauty of the artwork, and the artwork brings a focus to the beauty of the sun.
You see through the physical form to the light within.
There’s a mirror between the abstract and the endless celtic knotwork, the order within the seemingly random.
And the infinite nature to them both.
They live and breathe on their own, always in metamorphosis. The glass painting transforms with
the changing of the light, and the abstract transforms with your life experiences
– I think you can look at an abstract painting three weeks later or three years later or ten years later
and see something different within it all the time. I love that movement, and that it has a life beyond me,
and beyond when I finish the painting.
That’s very exciting and fulfilling for me as an artist.
Common themes you will see throughout my work are spirituality, nature, inner nature, sexuality,
irish culture and the natural world in general. Light, movement, shadow, depth and change are also
common themes in my artwork. I enjoy exploring the connections between things, the physical and the non-physical aspects of being,
the visual and the non-visual, and how they relate, and how they are one and the same.
The connection to ones-self through art, the connection to the divine through art, and the connections
between people through art also.
Art has helped me cope with trauma, CPTSD and depression. It’s often been the only thing keeping
me going. I wouldn’t be here without it.
I hope my work can bring you some solace, and some joy.
