About the Artwork

Featuring a tombstone-like engraved carbon fibre panel framed in walnut, Special Edition explores the relationship between materiality and absurdity within the Byronic Hero archetype. Carbon fibre's high strength-to-weight ratio and its use in motorsport, military and aerospace applications has seen its distinctive patterning appropriated in all manner of everyday items looking to co-opt its high-tech macho associations, from phone cases to pens. The walnut-trimmed car dashboards traditionally found in luxury grand tourers have been replaced too. Lifted from teen vampire saga Twilight, the engraved quote has become a meme of Byronic Hero absurdity, here carved into a deadpan, space-age shimmer.

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Theo Ellison's work teases out our vulnerability to romanticized narratives, exploring how they shape our relationship with nature, technology, and nostalgia. He uses video, photography, sound, 3D-printed sculpture, and text to explore the layers of illusion in how we construct and consume these narratives. Recent exhibitions in 2024 and 2025 include Request Lambo, London; Morphogenesis, London; Trailing Clouds of Glory, London; and In the Offing, Margate. He tests the boundaries between nature and artifice, pathos and humor, and observation and voyeurism.
