2010 and to start off the new year I've relocated to the newly renovated Back of House Studios, situated in the iconic Melbourne Central Complex. Sharing the space with some very talented artists.
I'm excited to be out of my f%*ing room and able to work on some larger canvases.
Starting off the year with a few exciting exhibitions, check below for dates.
2010 has started of on a good foot with three shows in two months. Some call it over kill but I have been very creative over xmas and gathered allot of work to pass on.
I've done a series of oil paintings that I'm quite proud of and a portrait collection that also make me smile. I'll be exhibiting them in up coming shows.
18th Feb will be a big one at "At Large Gallery" Melbourne.

Ikin's art resides on the jagged line of fine-art and illustration.
Originally from Perth Western Australia he comfortably resides in Melbourne City.
In his pursue and experimentation with various mediums Ikin has developed a unique style that is easily recognizable.
Focusing on obscure figurative forms and removing unnecessary lines to reveal the truth of his subjects. The results are stimulating and absorbing. I find his paintings revolve around the confusion of human relations, unanswerable dilemmas and of personal anxieties.
With a large body of work his style has the freedom to be linear but also can be extremely expressive and painterly using various mediums from oil to watercolor. Drawing on diverse influences including Picasso, Hans Bellmer, Max Ernst, Aubery Beardsley, Alfons Mucha and Gustav Klimt. Ikin undertakes a pitiless analysis in the paint of himself (self-portraits), his friends, of the human body, and of our place in a godless world.
