A family affair
Ellis: “As a late teenager, I visited the Tate Gallery in London and
was blown away by a Francis Bacon triptych. It made a great impression
on me because of the use of colour - it was unnerving and stunningly
beautiful at the same time. Bacon inspired many experiments I did over
the years. I now think it has become something of my own and hasn't much
to do with Bacon any more.”
