James Ellis

James Ellis is a renowned French-British abstract artist based in Sussex, UK. His work is deeply influenced by the techniques and philosophies of masters like Henri Matisse and Jean Arp, with a central focus on balance, unity, and simplicity. The result is a striking fusion of lasercut precision and the unpredictability of chance—abstract compositions where colour and form coexist in a delicate, harmonious choreography.

A graduate of the prestigious Atelier Chardon Savard fashion school in Paris, James embarked on a diverse journey across continents, immersing himself in fashion studios, reconnecting with nature, exploring the depths of human psychology, and delving into the world of design and its reinvention. This wide-ranging experience has shaped his unique artistic vision, characterised by a captivating blend of minimalism, optimism, and hard-edge colour addiction.

James’s celebrated series One Abstract A Day is a testament to the power of creative iteration. Over the course of a year, he produced one original artwork every day, offering a rare and intimate glimpse into the evolution of his creative process. This ongoing series captures the progress and transformation of his mind as he marks each day with a fresh creation, providing a bird's-eye view of his artistic journey and the relentless pursuit of artistic growth.
