Ian Norris A true Northern talent, Ian’s abilitly is to convey, through paint, how it is to stand by the land or sea to be battered, at times by the elements. Ian paints in the open, it is the only way he knows. He doesn’t work from photographs back in the studio, he stands with his canvas and easel on the fell side, beach or clifftops and paints. It is a combination of that uncomprimising approach and his natural ability that produces astonishing works, often almost sculptural in his use of paint.

Widely exhibited from his native North West to major galleries in Wales and the South of Englan. Ian’s works are held in several public collections, including Greater Manchester NHS Trust and Blackburn University Centre.

Ian relies on his own intuitive responses to the world around him, whether that response be to a landscape, a coastline, a cityscape or indeed recently, the interior of his studio. Whatever the subject, although stimulus would perhaps be more appropriate, the physical manifestation of the visual experience through the act of painting, for Ian, is the means of transmitting and sharing the same feeling and experience with the viewer.

“ The progressive build-up of paint combined with the scraping back of whole or partial areas of the paint surface reveal a complex matrix of varying colour, texture and depth which is not unlike the landscape itself �
