“I draw on an archive of printed material and ephemera to choose images which might suggest themes or narratives, or are inspired by song titles or common phrases. Hence, the work is littered with pop culture references from films, pop songs, everyday objects,or the work of other art and artists.
Overall, the work aims to provoke and entertain with with a combination of images, colour, themes and a sense of humour.”
Ian has exhibited widely, but particularly in the North West, most recently in an exhibition called ‘Notion Pictures’ at Salford Art Gallery.
