David Williams-Ellis
David Williams-Ellis (born 1959) is a British sculptor whose primary subject matter is the human figure.
Williams-Ellis was born in Lisburn, Northern Ireland.[citation needed] His great uncle was Sir Clough Williams-Ellis, architect and creator of Portmeirion in North Wales. His cousin was Susan Williams-Ellis, a pottery designer best known for co-founding Portmeirion Pottery.
Williams-Ellis was educated at Stowe School, Buckinghamshire.
On leaving school, in 1977, he trained under Nerina Simi, in Florence, who taught him to observe the details within a face, the way a person's clothes hung and the details within buildings.
In 1978 he received the Elizabeth T. Greenshield Foundation Award and he was able to work and study with the marble craftsmen of Carrara in Pietrasanta. He was heavily influenced by the early and high Renaissance and Italian art in general, as well as the architecture and visual excitement of Italy. In 1981 he returned to London to attend the Sir John Cass School of Art (now the Sir John Cass School of Art, Architecture and Design).
In 1993 Williams-Ellis was elected as a member of the Royal Cambrian Academy of Art.
Williams-Ellis' exhibition, entitled Elemental, was held at the Portland Gallery in December 2014.
Williams-Ellis' most recent exhibition, entitled D-Day Soldiers, was held at the Portland Gallery in June 2019.
