Elliot Mason was born in Tauranga and is the grandson of George Harrison, founder of Harrisons Gallery, Tauranga. He has a Bachelor of Media Arts, University of Waikato and was the founder and director of Zeus Gallery, Tauranga from 2013-2018.
His work is a stylised reflection of the natural world. He uses rhythmic, organic and geometric forms that are broken down into simple motifs. These can be turned into patterns, replicated and then contoured over blended gradients that represent land, waves, clouds and living beings. He creates patterns that represent the environment they portray, stretched and repeated like fractals multiplying into the distance to create perspective and depth.
