Biff Elrod

Biff Elrod Leaps and Journeys highlights selected paintings done in the years 1967 through 1974. The works were conceived and completed in Memphis, Tennessee, Honolulu, Hawaii, and New York City. The American Pop Art Movement was at its height and he began exhibiting in New York in 1972 with a painting included in a group show at French and Company in the Parke Bernet Building at 980 Madison Avenue. Elrod moved to New York in 1974 from Boston and had a one man show at Yves Arman Gallery in 1980 and then in 1982. These early paintings provides the basis for a lifetime of oil on canvas works.Elrod provides us with a purely American sensibility using elements of the classical yet contemporary imagery.
