Sarah Morris
British American · b. 1967

Sarah Morris creates bold geometric abstractions in acrylic that share the same energetic, colorful, and digitally influenced compositional language found in Primitive Adventure. Her works similarly balance sharp geometric structure with vibrant contemporary color fields on large canvas surfaces.

Bernard Frize
French · b. 1949

Bernard Frize works in acrylic on canvas with energetic process driven mark making and bold color combinations that closely parallel the dynamic brushwork and contemporary abstract qualities of Elrod's Primitive Adventure. Both artists explore the intersection of systematic method and spontaneous visual energy.

Chris Martin
American · b. 1954

Chris Martin creates large scale acrylic abstractions with similarly bold colorful gestures and energetic compositions that align with the primitive and adventurous spirit of Elrod's work. His paintings share the same contemporary American abstract sensibility combining geometric impulses with expressive color.
