Elliot Coates

Eliot Coates was born in Ōtautahi, Christchurch in 1984 and currently resides in Ōtepoti, Dunedin. His works embody a meditative and otherworldly space, an immersive dreamscape that coaxes the viewer into quiet contemplation. In a loud and distracting world, the play of colour and light in Coates’ oil paintings encourages us to slow down, focus and be present, in a going beyond words and daily concerns.

Coates is self-taught and currently represented by Gallery De Novo in Dunedin.
