Ian Kirkpatrick - Iconoclash

Global events, video games and ancient artifacts collide in larger-than-life artworks which tell darker stories about our modern world.

British-Canadian artist Ian Kirkpatrick draws together symbols from diverse sources such as cartoons and cave art, remixing them to tell his own stories about the complexities of modern life. In these ornate and layered artworks, these familiar symbols reflect Ian’s search for meaning in a world of increasing uncertainty.
