Words from the curator:

Artist Iain Macarthur is a master of smooth rendering and intricate, rich doodles. What can I say, I'm a fan!!

Tell us what an average day in the life of Iain is like:

my day to day life consists on Travelling about with my sketchbook which i do allot, drinking tea, draw, watching allot of movies, draw, sleep.

Tell us about the Design:

I decided to do a portrait of bob dylan, i thought id do something a bit different with the design so i introduced detailed patterns coming out of his face. it could represent the beauty of expression within his soul exploding out. or something else.

How would you describe your art style?

you could consider my style as surreal and a intricate labyrinth of stuff as i love drawing really detailed, always like to improvise in my pattern work introducing mindbuggling shapes into my portraits or character designs.

How did you get into art?

got into art at an when i was little, watching cartoons like 'ahhh real monsters!' n 'ren and simpy' hency why some of my work is pritty bizzare. wat got me into it passionly is going to art museums in school trips when i was little, always wanted to be an artist :P.

Who was you first major influence, and who is it now?

alot of artists inspire me but the an artist called max ernst was my biggest influence, he specializes in surreal painting, and his work just blew me away. his paintings looked like they have been done in a dream world. but now i get inspired from an artist called bruno 9li whos work is incredible using patterns and nature in his pieces
