Ellery Neon has been queering and decorating the visual landscape worldwide for over a decade. Initially known for their graffiti, “You Go Girl”, they have gone on to curate queer art shows, paint murals, produce experimental haunted houses, design immersive theatre and helm the drag-wrestling event CHOKEHOLE. Their imagery draws from campy horror, comic books and cartoon witches.

Born in Brooklyn, NY, graffiti came naturally to them at a young age. Hugo’s own identity clashed with macho and heterosexual graffiti culture, and served as a catalyzer to the queer elements of their work. They continue to pepper the humorous queer/feminist slogan, "You Go Girl,” all around the world to poke fun at said macho culture.

Hugo has been quoted as saying, "In any field there is room for a beautiful queer chaos to form. If it’s street art, theatre, protest, or drag queens wrestling, I aim to create a liberating campy version of it.”

Hugo has been featured in publications including The New York Times, Vice Magazine and The Guardian. Their work can be seen on the streets across the world.
