Eelus

EELUS -CONJURING Limited edition Street Pop Art Graffiti Emerging British artist

2014

Lee Pennington’s (also known as Eelus) art career began in the north of England in the late ‘80s. At around 10 years old, he peddled a small edition of hand-drawn Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles posters to his friends in the school playground for 10p each. The sale was a marginal success, allowing him to buy an extra chocolate bar or two on his way home. The early 2000s and a move to London opened Eelus’s eyes to the emerging world of street art. He began to experiment with his own stencil based works, painting under the moniker of Eelus. It’s after Banksy encountered the work on the streets of the East End that everything changed for Lee and after a 17 year hiatus he released his second edition through the legendary Pictures on Walls.
