Delicious
Working with richly layered oils, Ellis lays down oil paint with such generosity it’s impossible to ignore.
There is something wonderfully satisfying about a Jon Ellis painting. Working with richly layered oils, Ellis lays down oil paint with such generosity it’s impossible to ignore. Thick luscious and gloriously tactile, the paint becomes the subject. It catches the light, holds colour and gives each work a presence that feels wonderfully tangible - almost edible.
Whether depicting fruit, the Australian rugged landscape or the striped roof of a circus tent, his work celebrates the expressive possibilities of paint. Delicious brings together a collection of works that are vibrant, tactile and full of life. The title is a nod to both the subject matter and the luscious quality of the paint itself - paintings that invite you to linger, to look closely and savour every colourful bite.
