Ian Carpenter,
Painter

In my paintings, I am trying to find a sublime perspective, informed by the subconscious—in distant memories of visited or imagined places—or by the way nature and the human world engage each other. Aspects of these things appear in light, shadow, steel, skin, concrete, glass, sky, sea and earth.

I like to compose fresh protean improvisations with playful color, giving birth to curious figments and phantasms—what comes out depends on the weather; the weather in one’s mental coordinates at any given time and place.
