SUMMARY:Victoria Gallery & Museum: Victoria Gallery & Museum: Something Bor
 rowed\, Something New - Ian Irvine vs the VG&M
DESCRIPTION:SOMETHING BORROWED\, SOMETHING NEW\nIan Irvine vs the VG&amp\;M
 \n\nVictoria Gallery &amp\; Museum\nUniversity of Liverpool\n25 May to 19 
 October 2019\nOpen Tues - Sat 10am to 5pm\n\nArtist Ian Irvine applies a s
 ubversive\, contemporary twist to the VG&amp\;M’s collection of historic
  paintings. When invited to respond to the collection\, his immediate reac
 tion is to appropriate a number of images and transform them using collage
 \, screen print and some irreverence.\n\nHe zones in on formal portraits\,
  such as the elegant Anna Ashton painted by Georgian artist Joseph Wright 
 of Derby\, and makes interventions that entirely changes the narrative of 
 the original\, turning them into something surreal\, dark and disturbing b
 ut frequently humorous.\n\nHis silkscreen prints invoke the spirit of arti
 sts Robert Rauschenberg and Richard Hamilton\, adding layers of colour and
  painterly gestures\, which allow the original images to remain visible th
 rough a prism of overlaid colours.\n\nUsing the VG&amp\;M’s paintings in
  this way allows the formal qualities of the original works to be apprecia
 ted\, while turning them into something entirely different. Something rela
 ted to Pop Art prints of the 1960s and 70s.\n\n More about the artist:\n\
