Event: Solo Exhibition

Lots to see here... An exhibition of large format digital prints; the exhibited prints are a continuation of a series of work which began a few years ago with experiments with mosaics.

Ian has a fascination with rapid, hastily executed sketches with an almost throwaway quality - yet which often hold a wealth of meaning. "I draw a sketch, and then incorporate fragments of photography (always my own) in my designs. I use very occasional cultural references, and naïve animal forms. Now and then, I jump back to my original creative passion - photography. I use a palette of hundreds of these photographic images, creating textures and overlays. I use mainly digital media, and make compositions with differing perspectives and fragmentation."

A new exhibition on our balcony gallery space starts this week, by digital artist Ian Clegg Walsh.
See news: FBook "Batley Art Gallery" page. There are 19 works on exhibition. This extract is from the artist's description: Its a real privilege to have an exhibition in my home town. There's a mixture of old and new. Some of the pieces date from around 1996 when I had a fascination with mosaics, and then along came the vector phase, so it's a bit of a mishmash. Lately my thing is to incorporate layered tones from my own photography around a sketch. Hope you enjoy it ...
