About Ian

Ian Jones is a professional artist and illustrator with over 10 years of experience, working from a small studio in Nottingham, England.

His work is an energetic mixture of painting, drawing, mark making and collage. Drawing inspiration from many sources, his graffiti and street-art background remains one of the strongest influences on his work.

Colour, texture and intuition

Bright colours, texture, spontaneity and intuitive mark making are central to Ian’s creative process. He explores the balance between the abstract and the figurative, working loosely and energetically before refining each image, continuously building layers of colour and texture.

Influences

Ian draws inspiration from shamanism, cave paintings, comic books, graffiti and tribal art. His favourite artists include Dave McKean, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Skinner, Jeffrey Alan Love, Simon Bisley and Kris Kuksi.
