Dominic McElwee is a Wellingtonian artist based in Palermo, Italy, specialising in refined realist paintings on metal in miniature scale. Influenced by European art of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, he favours narrative figure compositions featuring subtle social commentary.
Many of his artworks engage with art-historical tropes and celebrated artworks, reinterpreting iconic images and themes through a critical contemporary lens.
