Ian first developed an interest in screen-printing whilst working for a firm of architects in India who produced prints of their buildings using traditional miniature-style techniques, such as flattening-out of perspective and deep, pungent colours.
In this spirit, his most recent images are vivid, hand-printed screen-prints of Pembrokeshire’s coastline, in marked contrast to his earlier series of black-and-white giclée prints of ‘architectural’ views of the county’s towns and villages, produced from his pen-and-ink drawings.
Ian’s black-and-white prints of Lancashire’s ‘Witch Country’ villages have been shown at Pendle Arts Centre in his native Northwest; those of India and south Asia at the CPF Gallery on Baker Street, London; and, most recently, a series of Irish subjects at galleries in Counties Waterford and Tipperary in the Republic.
