"Ellison's work found an easy place in our collection, as apt beside a Max Beckmann oil portrait as a Haitian voodoo banner. There is an intense bonhomie in the weirdness of his imagery that fires the imagination of a wide range of viewers.” Evan Hughes
“I finally met Scott Daniel Ellison in person last February on an upbeat evening in New York. It was a pretty dusk in an unseasonably warm Union Square. The assorted crazies and revellers had descended early. “I used to hang out here a lot”. So did I. We sized each other up over the obligatory gallon or so of coffee in the Starbucks upstairs at the Barnes and Noble where we had arranged to catch up. Scott had come down from Beacon, upstate for the day to run some errands and deliver some paintings he had wrapped up in a bag. They came back with me. I have known his work for some years. My father, Ray Hughes had come across it when Scott was showing with New York dealer Brian Clamp and we bought a number of small works over the years. They found an easy place in our collection, as apt beside a Max Beckmann oil portrait as a Haitian voodoo banner. There is an intense bonhomie in the weirdness of his imagery that fires the imagination of a wide range of viewers.”
