I've Got A Condition. It's Called Being A Total Legend
Size:44 x 52 in.
Lee Ellis’s painting I've Got a Condition. It's Called Being a Total Legend is a captivating 39 x 47-inch work that melds wit, raw emotion, and vibrant colour. The subject, rendered with expressive brushstrokes, wears a striped garment and oversized glasses, with a glowing halo-like backdrop lending an ironic reverence to the title’s tongue-in-cheek proclamation. The juxtaposition of the subject’s textured, dark tones against a bright yellow halo and vivid green stripes amplifies the painting’s striking impact.
Ellis, a Bristol-based multi-media artist, thrives on pushing the boundaries of traditional art forms. His work often explores the human figure as a vessel for experimentation, blending oils, spray paints, and charcoals to create layers of depth and intrigue. This innovative approach is influenced by the likes of Francis Bacon and Lucian Freud, visible in his visceral and emotive style.
Driven by an insatiable desire to experiment, Ellis’s work is a testament to the power of spontaneity and energy. His ability to combine dark themes with humour and originality has earned him acclaim in the UK and beyond. His career reflects an ever-evolving exploration of identity, emotion, and artistic freedom.
