Into the Light
INTO THE LIGHT celebrates the creativity of a group of Ayrshire artists and makers who have produced this work over during the first few months of the pandemic. It is an eclectic mix of subjects and styles, inspirational and uplifting. There is something for everyone to enjoy and plenty of ideas for Christmas presents!
Ian McKinnell's Solo Exhibition - Altered Images
The viewer is invited to bring their own imagination to my works. They are pure abstracts, found images of colours, surfaces, textures, sometime much as I found them but often “taken for a walk”, to borrow a phrase. The viewer is invited to see whatever you wish in there. I have at times attempted to add hooks for the viewer: “Horizon lines”, “Imagined Landscapes”, “disrupted views” but really, you can read whatever you wish into them.
My eye is drawn to the abstract, and I take delight in exploring how far I can transform an image to create a different way of seeing. However, although the result I strive for is an abstract, I like to work from images of the real world. In this way, my images retain an organic “memory” of the world which provides a hook for the viewer.
Some of my work is very physical in construction, consisting of multiple, collaged or float mounted images, things cut-up and other mixed-media as well as scanned material; so perhaps not digital at all.
