PROFILE
About Ellie Dixon
Ellie Dixon is a digital artist, largely specialising in photography. Through their practice, Dixon strives to create a sense of realism within contemporary performance photography using visual depictions of self-portraits and bodyscape imagery. Dixon has the ability to create a unique ‘punky’ monochrome aesthetic using a greyscale palette, heavy contrasts, and exaggerated body language in order to illustrate narratives relating to feminist movements, mental health awareness and various other political agendas. Dixon will often experiment with techniques that will depersonalise their model from the medium and their viewer. By doing so, Dixon allows the audience to apply themselves to the narrative that has been presented before them.
