New York artist Ellis Gallagher uses chalk to make everyday street objects pop. You can see some of his work in the gallery above, and check out more at the links below. The objects include bicycles, planters, poles—nothing particularly exciting. The chalk outlines of the objects’ shadows, however, are truly amazing. They make passersby pay attention to things they would otherwise overlook.
Ellis Gallagher is a talented street artist who is demanding attention in the overcrowded New York City artist scene.
