LUCAS ELY
Lucas is a 23 year old British artist and actor, based in London
In five years as a professional portrait painter he has completed over fifty commissions
“Painting a portrait is a collaborative process. In the digital era, powerful and accessible editing tools have made photographs increasingly unreliable. It’s the relationship between artist and sitter that makes a portrait trustworthy. Portraiture is an honest antidote to the technological environment, focussed on the only thing that has consistently fascinated artists and the public throughout history - peoples’ faces.”
