Ian Sheldon

Ian Sheldon leverages his diversity of medium and subject with a passion for geographical exploration to create ethereal, wide horizon and big sky paintings that explore a deeper sense of place and colour.

Sheldon's work consistently embraces the natural rolling undertones of emotional response in direct correlation to the inherent nature of weather.  With pieces as brooding and moody but also captivatingly beautiful as the storms the artist chases, Sheldon's work is a mesmerizing interplay between light and dark, calm and chaos.

Masterfully capturing the breakthrough light and solemnity of a storm, Sheldon combines vibrant landscapes with intensely shadowed skylines, expanding on themes of emergence, healing and unexpected release.  

Constantly inspired by his surroundings, Sheldon, whose artist endeavours are as ever changing as the landscapes he paints, maintains a profound respect for an openness to viewers' reactions and interpretations of art generating complex, internal narratives through the presentation of hue, motif and subject matter.
