Artist
John Just Ellis
1926 – 2014
“While immense in nature, God’s creation, I am excited by a shape, a color, a texture, a line, a movement of sunlight passing over form..causing lights and darks to undulate. Within the use of energetic color and form, there is a woven thread of spiritual continuity which does arouse the soul. I am searching; I am challenged by the truths hidden in nature that wait to be released. My art creates a nature beyond nature, an entity in itself, answering my spiritual and aesthetic needs. My designs are ideal for use as dynamic central focal points; the spectacular use of hue and form will provide a platform for which to create a decorative theme.“
