Ian studied at Chelsea School of Art in the mid 70’s, a vibrant time, from one of the Sex Pistols first live appearances to Visits from David Hockney. It was at this time that Ian perfected his unique style and paint application. A rigorous technician, Ian labour’s for as long as it takes to achieve a near airbrush quality to his work, painstakingly masking off the areas to be painted and methodically applying paint to canvas. This devotion to technique lends an intensity to his work.
