 at first caught the attention of the guest judge Kwong Lee\, Director at 
 Castlefield Gallery. A year on Ian is one of Manchester’s most exciting
  contemporary artists to watch.\n\nIan has a focused interest in the phys
 ical properties of painting and the emotional power the medium has to enga
 ge the viewer.  The exhibition will showcase a new series of small-scale
  pieces that at first sight may appear to have no obvious meaning yet\, o
 n closer engagement\, begin to reveal an underlying sensibility.  Ian say
 s of his work: ‘It is important that my paintings must transcend visual 
 reality\, but above all else they must also show an emotional reality.  S
 omething must be felt\, even when it cannot be fully understood.’\n\nSin
