Art critic Terence Mullaby wrote of him, "Ile, more than any other twentieth century artist, has expressed the life force. In a sense, everything he has ever done has been a religious painting."
His most famous works include the "Christ in Glory" tapestry in Coventry Cathedral, and "Crucified Christ", at St Aidan's, East Acton.
