Inua Ellams is a Word & Graphic Artist currently residing in London. Born in Nigeria in '84, he quickly fell in love with visual art and worked solely in this field until he started writing in '02. Constantly striving to merge the two disciplines, his work in both fields is known for its imagery, unashamed beauty and it's attention to detail. Rooted in a love for rhythm and language, and influenced by classic literature and hip-hop culture, he walks the line between generations and genres, creating works where the tradition of storytelling is mixed with modern language and movement.
