Ian Francis

I find his method of painting particularly interesting- he saves interesting photos he finds from watching lots of movies, books and internet, and creates compositions on photoshop!

However, his final pieces sometimes look identical to his idea, but sometimes look nothing like it.

He manages to create detailed figures or images with expressive and loose backgrounds. I particularly like this.

I like this one especially as it is chaotic and hard to understand, but the images of the girl, the bed and of the tiled background are very mundane, familiar images which we can relate to.

I also like the way he uses colour as a wash and white as his main colour here.
