contemporary art photography artist
British artist working with contemporary and 19th century photographic processes, video, sculpture, performance and animation.

About

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.

Ian’s latest project utilises projections, audio, performance and video to explore self-portraiture in the context of Jung’s four main archetypes Anima/Animus, Shadow, Persona and Self. By moving his images away from the gallery wall onto the surface of handmade effigies he’s creating multi-sensory video sculptures.

    self-i project

    I’ve been working on my ‘Self-i’ project for the last few of months. last September I embarked on an MA Fine art degree `( I know – oldest student in town ) to try to push my art and to give me the next two years of just experimenting with my ideas.
