London-born artist David John Ebbetts, known simply as DJE, brings his fascination with design, mechanics, and structure into his abstract works. DJE's art is a reflection on life’s experiences—love, loss, action, and introspection—expressed through mixed materials, geometric exploration, and layered textures. Wood, fabric, and plaster come together in intriguing forms and colors that are both abstract and specific.
Beyond art, DJE is an accomplished furniture designer and co-founder of the luxury art and design brand South + English, where he partners with fellow artist and life partner Palmer Linwood Smith. His creative journey is grounded in passion, exploration, and a commitment to meaningful design.
