Interesting Choice Of Tablecloth

Size:28 x 28 in. Interesting Choice of Tablecloth is an original artwork by Lee Ellis measuring 26 x 26 inches, presenting a vibrant and expressive still life that captures both intensity and playfulness. At the centre of the composition sits a richly painted vase overflowing with a dynamic bouquet of flowers. Bold strokes of crimson, coral, pink, and bright green collide across the canvas, forming petals and foliage that appear alive with movement. The blossoms cascade outward in an energetic arrangement, their colours glowing dramatically against the deep, dark background. The vase rests upon a vivid red surface that immediately draws attention, creating a striking contrast with the darkness behind the flowers. Drips of paint fall from the petals and stems, adding a sense of spontaneity and raw energy to the composition. The expressive brushwork and layered textures give the piece a tactile quality, allowing the viewer to feel the immediacy of the artist’s hand. Lee Ellis is known for his fearless exploration of materials and techniques, often combining oils, spray paint, and charcoal to create works that push the boundaries of traditional painting. His art carries a distinctive emotional intensity, yet in recent works he has introduced elements of wit and originality. Through this bold and experimental approach, Ellis transforms a familiar still life subject into a powerful and contemporary visual statement.
