Painting by Fred Ellison.
Fred Ellison has entitled his exhibition ‘Multifariosarty’ due to its wide-ranging subject matter and style. He has a playful approach, taking inspiration from British artist David Hockney who works out many of his compositions and plans his method using an Ipad.
Fred embraces technology, and uses his tablet as a tool to explore the many variations and possibilities before he even picks up his brush. The result is an ambiguous mix that plays with perception, leaving the viewer to subjectively unravel the narrative and process.
Fred spent his career as a tour travel operator, taking groups of tourists to exotic places around the world. His time spent visiting every major gallery he encountered on those trips has meant that many of his abstracts and landscapes are reminders of time spent in other parts of the world, inspired by some of the masterpieces he has viewed.
