UNTITLED 004

Untitled 004, 2025   48 x 24 in   Acrylic on primed canvas   Radiant yet restrained, this piece is a meditation on direction, clarity, and choice. Set against a vibrant, energetic yellow, symbolic of joy, optimism, and creative power, Ellis layers bold, black forms with intention and tension. Each stroke holds presence. Each mark feels decisive.   The space between the black bars is as meaningful as the strokes themselves, evoking the moments in life where we pause, shift course, or hold still. Hidden symbols and markings across the canvas, including Roman numerals and directional icons, suggest both navigation and self-alignment. There’s movement here, but it’s internal. A journey of the spirit rather than the body.   The minimalism is deliberate. The emotion is embedded in the contrast, the tension between lightness and gravity, spontaneity and control. Like much of Ellis’s work, this piece invites you to bring your own narrative, your own questions, your own story.
