My name is Ian James Brown, I create & paint abstract artworks to music.
Music is my life & completely in sync with the creative process. Whether it’s painting, experimenting in sketchbooks, making handmade & digital collages, making animations - music is always there.
Music for me turns the creative process into a meditative experience.
The freedom to make marks without judgement. Whether that be on canvas, acrylic paper, cardboard or newsprint.
I am on journey of transformation and my musical tastes reflect that, I like rhythmic music you can get lost in, a current playlist may include Andrew Weatherall - Tool - A Space Age Freak Out - Wet Signals - Nine Inch Nails - Play Pal Music - Tortoise - Harmonia - The Melvins - Neurosis
In recent years I have become interested in seeking beauty; whether it be in nature, books, photographs, films, literature. I have a series of sketchbooks permanently in development experimenting with lines, forms & shapes.
The last 5 years has been a remarkable journey for me, the dedication to learn and become the person I have always wished to be, using my artwork as the vehicle to express this process.
My interest and love for stop frame animation has also been rekindled and I have started a new creative venture - Fluid_Distortion; combining animation, projection and soundscapes. Who know’s where this may take me in the future.
Every piece created is a unique experience and a limited edition of one.
