“I like to use the human face as my subject, but in a way it acts as a vessel for my experimentation. The person I’m painting typically becomes irrelevant as I use their features to hold the paint and the work evolves with every layer of colour.”

We are pleased to introduce our first collection from British multi-media artist Lee Ellis, which is based on a series of often familiar self-portraits by famous artists, revisited and given a new message and identity in Ellis’s compelling contemporary voice.
