Ian Hartshorne lives and works in London. He declares to create works that are open to interpretation. These paintings are made with the intention that they might stimulate new thoughts, encourage us to re-examine our beliefs, or simply act as a gentle reminder. Paintings reveal strangely constructed interiors with views ranging from partially enclosed spaces and neglected attics to rooms that are spacious, stylish, and remarkably furnished. Hartshorne's confident use of colour is both intuitive and ideological, and he has developed the ability to use an amazing range of exciting and idiosyncratic colour combinations. The formal rules of perspective no longer apply, altering often and inexplicably.
Born 1968, Ian Hartshorne is Head of Painting and M.A Painting course leader at Manchester School of Art. He trained for his M.A at Chelsea College of Art and was a Stanley Picker fellow at Kingston University and a subsequent Boise Scholar at The Slade School, London. He completed a PhD, which investigates the affect on our social memories in relation to digital production methods. He has exhibited extensively across U.S.A and Europe. He is a founder member of the Teaching Painting organisation, a coalition of educators, which explores the relationship between teaching and painting - hosting conferences, publications, exhibitions and workshops. He recently completed curating a six-part exhibition cycle called 'Fully Awake' which brought together 72 institutions and 238 artists in an intergenerational sequence of shows; visiting six U.K venues. He is also co-editor of the book 'Teaching Painting: How can painting be taught in British art schools?' Published by Black Dog press.
