Ian Mason was born in Brighton, East Sussex in the United Kingdom in 1972. His interest lies in the structure and process of turning a subject into an image and the importance of the materials with which he works. You will notice that every mark he makes, although at first appearing loose and uncontrolled is actually very carefully laid down. His technique of thin washes and bold lines on the pristine canvas does not allow for error. Ian admires the work of the great Minimalists, Carl Andre, Donald Judd and the likes of Bruce Nauman especially in their use of process and truth to materials. The paintings’ contemporary style has a strong impact on the viewer making his statement and devotion to dogs exquisitely clear. Ian Mason currently lives and works in Cornwall, UK.
