Robert Ellison Painter

Robert Ellison Painter Robert Ellison Painter I paint for the challenge and joy of being able to express myself through saying something about my environment.

Blending realism and abstraction, I strive with oil or acrylic, knife and brush to convey my excitement and interest in the subject with bold and often contrasting marks, colours and textures. I find particular inspiration in unusual aspects of manmade or natural objects and in the field markings, shapes and skies of the natural landscape. While much of my work depicts the timeless and windswept s

cenery of coastal County Donegal, it is also inspired by my travels elsewhere in Ireland, Wales and southern Europe. I would consider myself an Irish artist and find that much of my work depicts Irish landscapes, I have also been strongly influenced by my travels through Wales and southern Europe. I am an Irish painter influenced by the works I have seen of great European painters such as Van Gogh, Vlaminck, Soutine, Matisse and Picasso. My work is held in private and public collections, has been included in a significant number of Royal Ulster Academy and has been the subject of three very well received solo exhibitions at the Island Arts Centre Lisburn (to which I hope to return in 2017).

This is a recently completed oil measuring 122 x 91.5 cm. The palette is relatively limited and a little unusual for me but I thoroughly enjoyed painting the work.
