Between Us

Between Us is a two-part work in which Ellip brings together fragmented figures, gestures, and overlapping forms across two connected canvases. The upper work is crowded with figures that appear intertwined, confined, and emotionally entangled, while the lower canvas shifts attention toward the physical closeness of bodies and the spaces between them. Together, the two paintings create a continuous scene in which individual figures become difficult to separate from one another. Created during ARTICO RESIDENCY 2026, Between Us reflects on human connection, proximity, and the complicated space that exists between one person and another.
