About

contemporary art photography artist
Ian Phillips McLaren (b. 1960) is a British contemporary artist, his varied practice combines contemporary and 19th century photographic processes, video, sculpture, performance and animation.

His body of work examines dementia as a state of being, memory, personal identity and the construction of self in our visual culture, portraiture and self-representation.

Ian’s current work, The ‘Self’ & The ‘Other’ is an exploration of the ‘Self’ through the lens of ancient Roman portraiture – The ‘Other’ referring to the ways in which identities are formed.

“By combining traditional 5×4 inch analogue paper negatives of my self with hybrid digital negatives of ancient Roman portraits and fragments, I’m re-imagining the historical self-portrait, in a similar vein to how the Romans re-imagined (Hellenistic) Greek art for their own purposes”.

Gum Printing Masterclass at London Metropolitan University

I had a great week last week, teaching Gum printing to a class of enthusiastic students at The School of Art, Architecture & Design which forms part of London Metropolitan University.

It’s all very exciting, because as far as I’m aware this is the first time gum printing has been taught at a university in the UK and the students loved it. (1st March 2023). I’m also over the moon that I was the lucky one to be teaching this amazing technique.

Gum printing is a contact printing process, which means that the final print will be the same size as your negative.

 

Thanks to the course leader James Cant (voted AOP Lecturer of the Year) https://www.jamesrussellcant.com, for jumping through a few hoops to make this happen. This is now a few alternative processes that I teach at the London Met, giving our students a larger creative tool-box, providing them with wider visual language to express themselves.

It was a pleasure for me to see them working, enjoying and helping to keeping this old process alive. Some of them even went back into the darkroom the following day to make more images. – happy days!
