TORSO

An expressive, gestural work completed from the nude. 8 x 6 inch. Signed on reverse. Ian Mood is an internationally renowned, award winning artist. Ian studied Fine Art at the University of the West of England, Bristol, and divides his time between his home in the High Peak, Derbyshire and the West Coast of America. His work features amongst collections in New York and Cape Cod. He is a member of the Artists’ Association of Nantucket where he was awarded the Frank Swift Chase Plein Air Award 2014. ‘Ian Mood is an artist who is drawn towards the shifting vastness of the landscape; it’s unpredictability and awesome might. Through his work he seeks to capture some of the defining qualities of our brooding landscape: how, in the space of a single walk one can experience all the vagaries of the English weather system – from being caught in a sudden downpour to the unexpected flash of brilliant light that breaks through the pearly canopy of low-lying cloud.’ Michael Howard, Royal Society of Arts. Acrylic and Oil Pastel on board. Signed on reverse. Unframed.
