Ellannah Sadkin BIO

Ellannah Sadkin is a pop artist, currently living and working between upstate New York and Devon, UK.

With its hard black lines, bright flat colour and organic and geometric shapes, her style is often described as comic abstraction.
Sadkin was a child of the nineties and a huge cartoon fan, and cites early drawing of The Simpson's characters as her first foray into cartooning. 

As an adolescent growing up in down town New York, Sadkin was heavily influenced by the vibrant street graffiti scene. “Growing up with Keith Harrings pop shop round the corner seemed to edge graffiti and pop art into my mind.” This later inspired her approach to composition, and foray into the world of super flat.

Sadkin has lived and worked in London England and NYC. And sees herself as a transatlantic artist.

Being a self-taught artist she lists Frank Stella, Takashi Murakami, Franz Ackermann as influential to her work. Her appropriation of cartoon aesthetics has been described as "Ren and Stimpy on acid meets Takashi Murakami".
